Mumbai: Rahul Mahajan, son of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, is again in the news for wrong reasons after a Mumbai daily reported that his two-and-half month marriage with pilot Shweta Singh is on the rocks after allegations of his relentless physical and verbal abuse, a charge both have strongly denied.

The local daily reported on Monday that Rahul used to regularly beat his wife Shweta whom he had married after his father's death and in the midst of a legal battle over drug abuse.

The paper also said that it was Shweta who had accused Rahul of beating her up and said that she wanted to end the abusive relationship.

The story was accompanied by a photograph which showed that Shweta showing a bruise on her right arm.

As per the report, Rahul had beaten up his wife as recently as last Wednesday and Shweta was left with a cut on the lip, a bruised arm, and a sore back.

However, when CNN-IBN contacted Rahul and Shweta, they both denied the report.

“No, why would I beat her up. She is the only relationship I have in my life. I have never beaten up Shweta and you can call her up and ask her,” Rahul said.

So was he completely denying the reports of him being a wife beater?

“There is nothing like that. Please don’t hype it. I have already gone through a lot of things and I have had more than enough, I don’t want one more controversy,” Rahul said.
