He used to ask whether I would take care of his kids and marry him."

From 2019, he claims the two sisters began blackmailing him and demanding money. "My life was also given threats of serious physical injury, betrayal," he said. In November 2020, he claims the woman he was involved with allegedly published private materials against him, following which Munde filed a petition against her in the High Court. The HC, he says, directed her to stop the publishing of said defamatory content.

Referring to the singer's complaints of alleged rape, he writes, "All these complaints are false, and part of the plan of blackmailing me and collecting ransom from me..."
