Rashmi also accused him of demanding money from her, and said, despite bringing in money from her parents she was regularly tortured and he even tried to poison her a couple of times. “My husband has recently married a Hindu girl who is half his age, he is now trying to evict me from our marital home. I am facing a serious threat to my life, tortured and assaulted too,” she told ANI.

What’s the proof?

The former model also alleged that she has messages stored in mobile phones which are proof of her claims. She claimed that now Asif and her friend Munir are trying to get the second wife converted in an attempt to ‘spoil’ her life. “I have the conversion message which was sent to her,” Rashmi said.

In a video which has surfaced on the internet, the woman can be seen crying and accusing her husband of conversion and assault. She has reportedly registered an FIR with Bandra police in Mumbai who are currently investigating the case.
