The woman had alleged in her complaint that when she became pregnant, Mahaakshay had given her some drug which led to an abortion. She also claimed that Yogita Bali had threatened her of extreme consequences if she decides to continue the relationship with her son. The complainant also stated in court that she moved to Delhi from Mumbai as she feared for her life in the light of threats sent by the mother-son duo.

Mahaakshay's marriage in Udhagamandalam (Ooty) in Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu was cancelled following arrival of a police team to investigate the case. After the arrival of the investigating team, the marriage was cancelled and the bride's family left the place, police said.
