Jayashree's allegations included that Ishwar is an alcoholic and also abused her school-going daughter from a previous marriage.

Ishwar Raghunath out on bail made counter allegations that Jayashree is after his money and properties and that she and Mahalakshmi's husband are jointly targetting them and may be in a relationship. Mahalakshmi's husband Anil has met the press and has stated that he considers Jayashree as his sister and met her twice at a common friend's get together and apart from each other giving shoulders to their woes allegations of an affair is baseless.

He also through the press asked for a meeting with his son who has not seen in six months at a location other than the court.
