According to his First Information Report (FIR), trouble began three months into the marriage when his wife suspected that he was impotent as the couple had not consummated their relationship. She allegedly pressured him to undergo a medical check-up, NDTV reported.
Doctors, however, certified that he was physically capable of sexual activity, attributing the delay to mental stress, the man claimed in his statement, the report further added.

Despite this, the dispute intensified. The complainant alleged that his wife demanded ₹2 crore as “compensation” for his inability to fulfil marital obligations. Matters worsened on August 17, when his wife and her relatives allegedly stormed into his Govindarajnagar home and assaulted him and his family members.
