Controversy	Political Backlash on a Domestic Violence Complaint: On 21 April 2015, Rakhi found herself in a controversy when her sister-in-law Priyanka filed a domestic violence complaint against Rakhi's brother Vikram. The complaint, which alleged physical assault, was withdrawn the following day led to political backlash. The BJP and Congress party used the incident to criticise Rakhi and the AAP, questioning her suitability for her role in the women and child welfare department. Although Rakhi distanced herself from the family dispute and supported Priyanka, the issue continued to be controversial. [1]Hindustan Times
