Rahul Mahajan's showy marriage on reality show, watched by lots of people across the country as well as overseas, looks headed for a break up with second wifey Dimpy Ganguly alleging that her hubby had punched, kicked and dragged her by the hair.

Rahul Mahajan is the son of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan.

Kolkata-based model Dimpy tied the nuptial knot with Rahul - who gained national infamy after his father's demise owing to his brushes with the law - on the Imagine TV reality show "Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega" during March
2010 amid much hype and media attention.

The 22-year-old Dimpy said, "Rahul beat me up early Thursday morning after waking me up to know the contents of a message that had beeped on my phone. When I asked him to go back to sleep, he flew into a rage and began hitting me. He punched, kicked and dragged me by the hair."

On Friday, Dimpy told that she wants time to get well and wants to be left alone.

While talking to reporters, Ganguly said, "Rahul and I just had a conversation and he sincerely regrets what happened. We are both very upset and I am extremely hurt. I need time to think about this and recover from whatever has happened. Till that time, I want to be left alone."

Ganguly reportedly had stayed with Poonam Mahajan, Rahul's sister, after alleged physical abuse by Rahul. She has now returned to Rahul's house.

Ganguly had left Rahul's place after the spat at around 4 a. m. Thursday.

This is the second instance Rahul has been accused of domestic aggression

In the national capital, Women and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath reacted by saying a team would examine the allegations if Dimpy complained.

"I will ask the National Commission for Women (NCW) to look into the matter if she (Dimpy) lodges a formal complaint with us. Domestic violence in no way is acceptable," Tirath told reporters here.

In an interview to a Mumbai Mirror, Dimpy alleged that Rahul beat her up regularly and also pointed a gun to her head in one of their fights. (With Inputs from Agencies)
