Rahul Mahajan punched, kicked and dragged me by hair, says wife Dimpy

Mumbai: Kolkata-based model Dimpy Ganguly has walked out of her four-month-old marriage to Rahul Mahajan, son of BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, alleging domestic violence.
Dimpy had married Rahul with much fanfare on the Imagine TV reality show “Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega” in March this year.
“Rahul beat me up early on Thursday morning after waking me up to know the contents of a message that had beeped on my phone. When I asked him to go back to sleep, he flew into a rage and began hitting me. He punched, kicked and dragged me by hair,” the 22-year-old model told a TV channel.
Rahul could not be reached over phone for his comments.
This is the second time that Rahul, who was also involved in a drug abuse case, has been accused of domestic violence.
His first wife Shweta Singh, who was his childhood friend, had accused him of physically abusing her. The couple got divorced in 2008 after which Rahul participated in Colors’ reality show “Big Boss”. He continued to be in the limelight for his closeness with co-contestants Monica Bedi and Payal Rohatgi.
Incidentally, Rohatgi too has alleged harassment by Rahul, saying he has been calling her asking for a second chance.
“I just don’t want to be harassed anymore. That’s about it. I don’t want to speak to him. He is a married guy,” Rohatgi said.
Senior BJP leader Pratap Ashar, a close associate of Pramod Mahajan who was present at the live wedding function of Rahul and Dimpy, refused to be drawn into the controversy saying that he did not know anything.

what to complain about now..she competed with so many to win the worst possible husband!
haha.. well said !!
I feel sorry for her though..
dont u think they shud abandon this swayamvar program..both the seasons ended up with disastrous results!
both rahul and rakhi jus wanted publicity!! Can to some extent understand being a fan of rakhie but y on earth wld u marry rahul?? :O ther ar so many guys out ther!! y wld u want to marry some1 who has been married once and was in jail?? may b he has some untreated mental disorder!! they shd stop it.. I heard yuvraj was asked to be the next contestant.. lol.. he denied it i guess..
wow..i was thinking yuvraj wud make a perfect candidate! girls will fall over each other for him!
on rahul mahajan, he was a drug addict, was involved in a murder case, went to jail, a divorcee with alleged wife beating charges..and on big boss, we saw all his flirting, cheating and two timing openly on tv..why he ever was a candidate worthy of a swayamvar!
now this was like that nepali girl marryng charkes shobraj..did u see her on tv, claiming how shobraj shud be let go free??
yea.. i did.. lol.. he is 60 plus?? btw news nowa days has become so depressing.. cant watch it for more than 5 mins..
hmm..watched bajrang dal ppl beat up couples on friendship day..why only that day is important..there will be couples roaming around in parks on all days..when will all this nonsense from such organisations stop..
there should be a limit to show nonsensical shows on TV.. rahul mahanjan’s an asshole. period. wonder why someone would like to make a show which centers around a menace like him! introspection’s the call of the day. have the ethics gone into wonderland?
i wonder y the indian audience is subject to such low quality shows.. i mean indian tv has no originality!! all the shows ar direct lifts from other international shows.. and the tv serials ar copied from movies.. d same old boring story lines, d same old family dramas whic ar nt even relevant today!! we deserve better.. seriously.. an d news channels?? omg! thy hav becum trash channels..
