A case has been registered by the Mumbai police against veteran Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty's son Mahaakshay and wife Yogita Bali, based on a complaint filed by a 38-year-old actress.

The woman has alleged that Mahaakshay had forced her into having sexual relations with him and even made her consume pills when she became pregnant with his child. She added that Mahaakshay's mother Yogita Bali used to threaten her as well. "The complainant said she was in a relationship with Mahaakshay Chakraborty from 2015 to 2018 and during that period he had promised to marry her. The woman said that during their relationship, she had gone to see Mahaakshay's flat at Adarsh Nagar in Andheri West, which he had purchased in 2015. She said when she went there, the accused offered her a spiked soft drink and forced her to have physical relations with him. The woman alleged that when she became pregnant, Mahaakshay asked her to abort the baby and gave her pills. The woman said she used to ask Mahaakshay about their marriage. But in January 2018, he told her that he cannot marry her, which led to an altercation between them. She said when she called him, his mother Yogita Bali threatened her," an investigating officer reportedly said.

A case has been registered against Mahaakshay and his mother Yogita Bali under section 376 (rape), section 313 (causing miscarriage without woman’s consent) and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.
