YouTuber Armaan Malik and his two wives summoned by Patiala Court in two cases

New Delhi: YouTuber and Bigg Boss OTT 3 participant Armaan Malik and his two wives, Payal and Kritika Malik, have been summoned by a Patiala district court in two separate legal matters, Live Hindustan reported. The court has directed all three to appear on September 2.

The summons follow a petition filed by Davinder Rajput, alleging that Armaan Malik has not only two, but four marriages, in violation of the Hindu Marriage Act, which permits only one marriage at a time for individuals practising Hinduism.

In addition to bigamy allegations, the petition accuses Armaan and Payal Malik of hurting religious sentiments. It claims that Payal appeared dressed as Hindu goddess Kali in a video posted on Instagram, which the petitioner says insulted religious beliefs and constitutes a punishable offence under Indian law.

According to the report, Armaan and Payal Malik subsequently undertook steps towards public atonement. On July 22, the couple visited the Kali Mata Temple in Patiala, offered prayers, and apologised for their actions. The following day, on July 23, they appeared at another Kali temple in Kharar, Mohali, where Payal reportedly undertook a seven-day religious punishment involving temple cleaning and rituals.

The couple later travelled to Haridwar to seek forgiveness from Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Kailashanand Giri of the Niranjani Akhara. During this period, Payal Malik’s health deteriorated, and she was admitted to a hospital in Mohali.

Armaan Malik, whose real name is Sandeep, hails from Hisar, Haryana. Before becoming a content creator, he worked at a private bank in Delhi. He gained national attention when he entered Bigg Boss OTT Season 3 on June 21, 2024 with both his wives, and the trio have remained in the headlines for their unconventional lifestyle and frequent online appearances.
