UK07 Rider’s family disowned him after his marriage
Anurag Dobhal's manager, Rohit Panday, clarified in a SCREEN interview that reports of his parents disowning him aren't new; they date back to last year, not the crash.According to Rohit Panday, “I want to clarify that while it’s being reported that his parents have disowned him after this accident, it’s not true.
This announcement came out last year when their relations began to deteriorate.”
He noted it was published in a local paper eight months ago after family ties frayed over Anurag's marriage to Ritika, whom they opposed. Panday added that Anurag tried hard to win approval, but the family ran the ad anyway, prompting a dowry case filed by Anurag and Ritika in response.
Panday detailed how tensions boiled
He said in the same interview that Ritika wasn't allowed into the family home post-wedding or to cook traditionally, leading to a move to Manali.
According to Rohit Panday, “The family didn’t agree; they would rather tell him that they would disown him... We filed the dowry case in retaliation and took Ritika Bhabhi’s permission to do so.” This came after Anurag bought a Rs 2.5 crore property in his mother's name, which he later liquidated.
Manager slams influencers chasing views amid the car crash
Panday didn't hold back on influencers showing up post-crash for publicity. He called out Thara Bhai Joginder and Tehelka Bhai, saying, “A lot of people would do anything for the clout at this moment.
That influencer Thara Bhai Joginder got beaten up. He was trying to make a video with Tehelkaa Bhai showing how Anurag was.”
According to Rohit Panday, “A supporter is not someone who keeps making videos... Even I can post a video of Anurag, but I don’t want to do that.” He praised genuine backers like Mannara Chopra and Elvish Yadav while questioning where others were during Anurag's eight-month mental health battle.Ritika, despite hate online, has been by his side since 6 AM post-accident. Panday stressed, “Anurag’s wife is 8 months pregnant and with him... She has been there despite her health, but she is still receiving hate.”
Dobhal’s health update
The March 7 incident saw Dobhal live-streaming from Dehradun to Delhi, accelerating deliberately as 80,000 people watched, before fans rushed him to Subharti Hospital in Meerut.Panday shared he spoke to Anurag that day: “He told me he just wanted to get some air, and then he would come back. So, I agreed. Thirty minutes later, I saw he went live.” Anurag underwent surgery Monday night and remains in the ICU for severe injuries. Anurag reportedly said, “I am all he has because others are all doing things for fame.”Panday further dismissed myths, saying, “Had Anurag done this for views, why would he be away for 8 months?”He urged people to focus on Dobhal's recovery over speculation.
