The renowned actor is seeking action against his wife Smita Gate, posted as the Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) at MP Human Rights Commission over alleged harassment and unruly conduct.
Bharadwaj approached the commissioner of police (CP) of Bhopal, Harinarayanachari Mishra on Wednesday, and submitted a written complaint against his wife.
In the complaint, Bharadwaj mentioned that after a 12-year-long marriage, he and his wife Smita consensually filed for a divorce in 2018 at the Mumbai family court, and their case is still pending.
Smita is currently posted as additional chief secretary at the MP Human Rights Commission in Bhopal. The actor accused his wife of not letting him meet their twin daughters- Devyani and Shivranjani.
Bharadwaj further stated in his complaint that to deter him from meeting his daughters, Smita allegedly kept changing the school on a regular basis, which has inflicted harm on his mental health.
