Bigg Boss 20 Contestant Rhiti Tiwari's Mother Denies Ekam Bawa's 'Step-Father And Husband' Claims, Legal Action Initiated | Video

Mumbai: A legal notice has been issued on behalf of "Bigg Boss 20" contestant Rhiti Tiwari, daughter of BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, and her mother, Pratima Pandey, denying allegations made by a man identifying himself as their step-father and husband. The claims, described as "false, baseless" and defamatory, have prompted the issuance of the notice.

The individual, identified as Ekam Bawa (also Parminder Kumar Bawa and Ekam Bains), has publicly stated that he is Rhiti Tiwari's step-father and her legally wedded husband. However, the notice issued by Pratima Pandey and Rhiti Tiwari categorically denies these claims, stating that Ekam Bawa holds no such legal status or relationship.

It further alleges that Ekam Bawa's statements, videos, and social media posts regarding Rhiti, her mother, and their family are defamatory, intended to harm their reputation. Legal action, both civil and criminal, has been initiated against Ekam Bawa. The notice urges media houses, publishers, platforms, and channels to remove any content carrying these alleged claims and replace it with the public notice.

Media organizations are asked to seek documentary proof and independently verify any facts about the family from the issuing office before publishing or broadcasting such statements. Failure to do so may result in legal action against the publisher. Rhiti Tiwari's team reacted to the allegations on her official Instagram Stories, calling the claims "false" and urging the media to verify the facts before reporting. They have initiated legal action against Ekam Bawa in relation to these allegations.
