According to the FIR, the complainant, Pinky Adak (37), a model residing in Malad West, married Anuj Sinha in 2023 but later separated. The separation allegedly pushed her into depression, during which she attempted suicide.
Her neighbour, Endrina Putman, informed the police and ensured Adak was admitted to a hospital.

Lured Into Business Investment

When the complainant questioned him, he allegedly abused and threatened her, police said.
