While he is currently busy with the paperwork, Devashish says he plans to file a case against his deceased sister’s estranged husband Gagan aka Gabru. 

He alleged, “Gagan started torturing Divya physically and mentally soon after their marriage. She had written a note on November 7, in which she had stated that Gagan tortures and abuses her. We found the note in her cupboard yesterday. She had also approached the police and filed an NC on November 16 against him, following an episode of domestic abuse. I had told her to stay strong when I got to talk to her during her hospitalisation.”.
