• The woman told reporters she considers the issue a personal matter and rescinded her May 27 legal notice to end the dispute.
• The notice had sought ₹50 lakh in compensation and accused Siddhant Shirsat of mental and physical harassment during their 2022 marriage.
• She alleged Siddhant pressured her into an abortion and threatened suicide to deter her from speaking out.
• A December 2024 police complaint she filed against Siddhant was not pursued, which she attributed to her father-in-law’s political influence.
• Shiv Sena (UBT) deputy leader Sushma Andhare and activist Anjali Damania have urged authorities and party leaders to secure the woman’s safety and respond to her allegations.
