According to the Amboli police, Ms Mookhey, in her statement, has alleged that she had often been beaten and troubled by her husband. An FIR has been registered under IPC Section 498A (cruelty and harassment).
Mr Tuli is a New York-based businessman and also a financial consultant. The actor’s medical examination was done on Thursday. Ms Mookhey had also approached the Amboli police in the past following, which a non-cognisable complaint was registered against Mr Tuli.
