New Delhi: Rahul Mahajan is in news for the wrong reasons yet again. Months after his troubled married life hit headlines, the son of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, is reportedly heading for a divorce from his wife Shweta Mahajan.

Shweta, a former pilot with a private airline, has filed for divorce in a Gurgaon court. She and Rahul got married in August 2006, soon after Pramod Mahajan’s death.

Just three months later, trouble began brewing in their paradise when a Mumbai newspaper published pictures of Shweta alleging that Rahul had hit her.

The daily reported that Rahul regularly beat Shweta since their marriage that was solemnised at a time when the BJP leader's son was in the midst of a legal battle over drug abuse.

The paper also said that Shweta wanted to end the “abusive” relationship.

The story was accompanied by a photograph of Shweta showing a bruise on her right arm.

Shweta later denied the report.
