Pune doctor allegedly attacked by reality-TV personality over money demand

Source: NDTV · 26 Sep 2026, 17:17 UTC

A Marathi reality-show contestant and online personality, Divya Shinde, has been accused of entering a doctor’s home in Pune, attacking him with sticks and utensils, and taking his car. The available report says the alleged assault was connected to an attempt to extort 500,000 rupees.

Divya Shinde, known for appearing on “Bigg Boss Marathi” and as an online “reel” personality, has been accused of attacking a doctor at his home in Pune, according to NDTV. The report says Shinde allegedly broke into the doctor’s residence and assaulted him using sticks and household utensils. It also says she allegedly took his car after the incident.

The alleged attack was linked to a demand for 500,000 rupees, described in the source as an extortion attempt. The available material does not provide the doctor’s name, the date of the alleged incident, or details of any police case. It also does not include a response from Shinde or information about whether she has been arrested, charged or questioned.

The allegations have therefore not been independently established in the supplied report. The source identifies Shinde through her television appearance and online presence, but provides no further information about the relationship between her and the doctor or the circumstances that preceded the alleged confrontation. Further details about the doctor’s condition, the alleged damage to the home and the circumstances surrounding the vehicle were not included in the material available.

NDTV is the named source for the account.
