The couple’s house was registered under the wife’s name, and the video showed Khurana’s father-in-law, Jagdish Pahwa, discussing the transfer of Rs 2 crore for the house. However, the family alleged that Pahwa later reneged on his promise, denying his earlier statement regarding the money transfer. Khurana mentions that despite the terms and conditions of the divorce being mutually agreed upon, his in-laws were placing new demands, including an additional Rs 10 lakh. Puneet expresses his inability to fulfill this demand, stating that he could not ask his parents for more money as they had already sacrificed a lot for him.
The video was dated October 12, 2023. Khurana’s family alleged that he was under immense pressure due to the recurrent demands for money. They further claimed that Jagdish Pahwa often resorted to threats after going back on his promises. The businessman’s family said they were providing multiple such videos and other evidence to the police to support their claims.
