The court had on August 3 issued notice to Honey Singh on the case filed under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, directing him 'not to alienate or create any third party rights in their jointly owned property in Noida or dispose of his wife's jewellery and other articles'.

In her plea, Talwar, 38, said that she was subjected to numerous incidents of physical, verbal, mental, and emotional abuse at the hands of her husband and his family. She said she suffered from symptoms of depression due to mental harassment and cruelty imposed upon her since their marriage on January 23, 2011, and sought medical help. She also levelled cheating allegations against Singh, saying that he used to frequently have casual sex with multiple women, not wear his wedding ring, and mercilessly beat her for releasing their marriage pictures online.

However, Honey Singh has denied the allegations levelled against him by his wife. Taking to Instagram, the singer-rapper in the statement wrote, "I am deeply pained and distressed by the false and malicious allegations levied against me and my family by my companion/wife of 20 years, Mrs. Shalini Talwar. The allegations are severely odious."
