Saurabh has however refuted the claims stating that though he met Shilpa through a dating app, the duration of relationship has been incorrectly projected by the woman’s family and that he had met her just three months ago.

In the complaint filed by the woman’s father to Sector-39 police, he has accused the IRS officer of murdering his daughter. He further alleged that Saurabh lured Shilpa with false promises of marriage and repeatedly abused her. The police registered the matter.
