Deepika Koyetiya named her husband Jignesh Koyetiya, along with her father-in-law Praveen and mother-in-law Chandrika in her complaint. She has also alleged that they demanded Rs 5 lakh as dowry from her. She stated that her husband was always suspicious of her and would hit her, suspecting that she was having an affair.

According to the FIR, the complainant married Jignesh in May 2010. They have two sons, 7 and 5 years old. She lives with her husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law on the first floor of the house.
She stated that in October 2019, on checking her husband’s phone, she found that he was involved with another woman. After she informed Jignesh’s parents about this, he assaulted her and threatened to kill her.
The FIR says that at the time his parents also fought with her and demanded Rs 5 lakh as dowry, without which they would drive her out of the house.
According to the FIR, on Wednesday while she was talking to her sister on the phone, her in-laws and husband got angry at her and beat her up. They also forbade her from talking to anyone from her parental home. The FIR states that suddenly, all three of them picked her up and threw her up off the first floor.
