All you need to know about Shweta Tiwari's case
Back in 2021, Shweta's ex-husband Abhinav Kohli had accused her of forging his signature on a Non-Objection Certificate (NOC) that she required to obtain a UK visa for their son in 2017. When Kohli got to know about the forgery he tipped the British consulate about the same and said that he never signed an NOC. Tiwari and Kohli's son Reyansh's visa was cancelled upon the information coming out.
Kohli filed a First Information Report (FIR) against his ex-wife in the matter. After the matter was filed, Tiwari approached the High Court to quash the case against her.
In her petition, Tiwari argued that the FIR was filed only in 2021, which was four years after the said incident happened. She suggested that the complaint was filed in retaliation to a personal dispute between the former couple.
Tiwari pointed out that she and Kohli had traveled to the UK in 2018 with his consent for their son’s physiotherapy, and the NOC was granted by Kohli at that time.
Tiwari said in her petition that the FIR was filed only after their relationship further soured and Kohli had concerns about her attempting to take their son abroad again. Tiwari and Kohli ended their marriage in 2019 with a divorce. The actress had filed a case of domestic violence against him.
