A source close to the Azmi family told Times Now that the litigant is intimidating the family. The source said, “He (the litigant) somehow got Ayesha’s number. So long he did not have Ayesha’s number. Now he is messaging her on WhatsApp and saying, ‘You and your husband will be in jail very soon. In ten days the police are going to pick you up’. He’s intimidating her. He’s also intimidating Farhan’s sister who is pregnant.”
Farhan Azmi and Ayesha Takia tied the knot in 2009. Aysha was 23 then. Farhan is the son of Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi.
