After Priyanka refused to get into Rajat's car, he forced her grandmother inside the vehicle. When Priyanka refused despite repeatedly being told to sit in the car, Rajat became furious and dragged her inside the car even though she kept resisting him.

When the car reached near Rajat's residence, he allegedly pushed Priyanka out of the car and reportedly tried to run over her with his vehicle, leaving her with a fractured leg. After reaching home, Rajat allegedly assaulted Priyanka's grandmother following which, her health condition deteriorated.

On learning about the incident, Priyanka's family reached Rajat's house and rescued the elderly woman home. After which, they lodged a police complaint against their son-in-law.
