Mehra was booked under several IPC sections

Soon after the 38-year-old actor was granted bail, he was asked to give a statement by the media.
Mehra called the case fake; alleges Rawal hit herself
Mehra claimed that the charges were false, and that Rawal and her brother were pressuring him to give high alimony after the couple's separation. He adds that after a verbal fight, Rawal started abusing him and his family, and spat on him. She then smashed her head on the wall and falsely implicated him. He alleged that he also was assaulted by her brother.
'The truth will come out,' the actor said
Talking about the investigation, the actor said, "The police also did nothing because they know what the truth is. If they file a false case, the truth will come out. If tomorrow an investigation is conducted, the truth will be out."
He had earlier denied rumors of a rift between them
However, when rumors had hinted at a possible rift between the couple, the top TV actor had denied about any trouble in their paradise. He had said, "I have no clue what led to these rumors all of a sudden. I saw this news today only and I have been getting calls from everywhere. When Nisha got the news, she had also cleared it."
