- Pawan Singh issued a statement saying he invited Jyoti to his home for about 90 minutes and that officers were present to prevent escalation, while alleging she pressed him to help her contest elections.
- Jyoti challenged his account in a counter note, citing CCTV entry and exit times, reiterating her maintenance case, and accusing him of infidelity and public humiliation.
- Social-media criticism of Pawan intensified, including backlash over actress Anjana Singh posting that he sent her his new car for a drive shortly after the confrontation.
- Jyoti’s father said he will seek Yogi Adityanath’s intervention, and a longtime friend of Pawan labeled the controversy a political conspiracy, as the couple’s divorce, maintenance case and mutual complaints continue.
