However, Vijay allegedly manhandled her on her way to work on October 14, 2011. Hemlata also filed an application in the court seeking interim relief and requesting that Vijay and his parents be restrained from contacting her and her relatives at home or at work or even trying to meet them. The application was filed through her lawyer advocate Rajendra Anbhule.<\/p>\n<p>Vijay denied the allegations in court and demanded that Hemlata\u2019s application be rejected. He stated that he was not in Pune on October 14, 2011, and had gone to attend a relative\u2019s last rites. He alleged that Hemlata was arrogant and misbehaved with him and his parents. After hearing both sides, the magistrate restrained Vijay and his parents to communicate with Pawar and further restrained them from visiting her residence or office.
