- The petition alleges prolonged emotional, physical, sexual, verbal and financial abuse, stating she fled their Austrian home on October 11 and returned to India without the couple’s three sons.
- Reliefs sought include Rs 10 lakh per month in maintenance, Rs 50 crore for loss of earnings and Rs 50 crore for pain and suffering, along with protection over her Andheri residence.
- Her legal team alleges Haag coerced a gift transfer of her Mumbai flat and sold a jointly purchased Vienna property without informing her, with a related civil dispute pending in Mumbai.
- In the Austrian divorce case, a court recently allowed Jaitly one hour of daily telephonic access to the children, after what her lawyer says were earlier blocks on contact.
