Bharti's advocate Anand Jondhale said that his client was framed by her own husband, Sandeep Bhatia, who was allegedly having an affair with the maid.
"Rajni had left for her native place a few days before the complaint had been registered and her husband took the opportunity to file this false allegation. She is in a lot of trauma as she is away from her two children who are currently in her husband's custody," said Jondhale.
