1. Abhimanyu still has the parental custody. He promised to his minor son that he, the minor child, wouldn't have to live without the presence of his parents. But legally he still has all the power and benefit. He could make Abhir stay with him if he wished. Or, he could choose to be a very involved co-parent to his minor son without depriving him of a stable family environnent. He isn't the victim here. He, as an adult, took a decision to comply his minor son's wishes. Every parent prioritises their child's well being over their own wishes. Abhimanyu did the same. Who exactly wronged him?
2. If he were so distraught and uncomfortable with the party/picnic/soiree, he could have said a simple "No". He is an adult. Parents should teach children to say as well as to accept and respect a "No." It's almost as if "No" as a concept doesn't exist in this show's writer's room.
3. Abhinav drank on his own accord. That doesn't make Abhimanyu's actions or intentions pure. We as an audience know that Abhimanyu will be deemed innocent — because we read the producer's interview, and we know logistically it doesn't make sense to kill off one love interest and turn the other one into a murderer in a daily soap. The characters of the show do not know that. To them, Abhimanyu has motives to hurt Abhinav, and his actions are cunning. For all they know, he could have taken Abhinav to the edge— leveraging their friendship — and could have pushed him off the cliff with or without the alcohol. The characters of the show haven't read Shahi's interview and therefore do not know that it'd be deemed an accident.
4. Also Also Also, it is still not comparable to Akshara getting accused of murders by her spouse and in-laws because a) the power dynamic isn't the same b) the motive wasn't there, and c) the circumstantial evidence present against Dr Birla wasn't there in Akshara's case. She was well and truly innocent.
I am just talking about the writing of the story and not bashing any character/actor/fandom.
