Bhojpuri singer-actor Pawan Singh remains in the headlines after his wife Jyoti Singh made new serious allegations against him.
Jyoti has recently claimed that Pawan tortured her and allegedly gave her abortion pills. She also questioned if the actor really wanted a child with her.
According to India Today, Jyoti said during a press conference, “He's saying he yearned for a child, but a person who yearns for a child doesn't give his wife medication. I was given medication every time, and I hadn't revealed many things to the media, but today, Pawan Ji forced me to. I'm not defaming Pawan, I'm just presenting my side.”
She added, “I'm sharing the things about myself today. When Pawan Ji was administering the medication to me, and when I spoke out against him, he tortured me so much that I took sleeping pills. I took 25 sleeping pills at 2 am.”
Jyoti went on to say that Pawan's brother Ranu and his teammate Deepak were present at the time and drove her to the Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Andheri, Mumbai. She also mentioned that she received treatment there. Jyoti also said, "He used to give me abortion pills."
Previously, Pawan Singh, who is also a newly reinstated BJP member, reacted to the controversy and claimed that her actions are politically motivated.
While talking to the media, Pawan Singh said on Wednesday, “Our case has been going on in the court for the last 3-4 years...Why did you (wife Jyoti Singh) show affection only today?... What kind of affection is this? We can only call it politics that you want to trouble me.”

Pawan Singh and Jyoti Singh Controversy
Pawan Singh sparked controversy after Jyoti was spotted crying at the Bhojpuri actor’s house. Jyoti then doubled the drama with several shocking accusations against him. Pawan has since defended himself and questioned Jyoti's intentions in a social media statement.
Pawan explained that the police weren't at his house because he called them, but rather to keep the peace.
He said that there was a misunderstanding that he had called the police. He also noted that family disputes should be kept private and accused Jyoti of inciting a public dispute for her personal goals.
