Celina Jaitly Files Domestic Violence Case Against Husband Peter Haag After 15 Years, Seeks ₹50 Crore Compensation
Celina Jaitly has filed a domestic violence complaint against her husband, Austrian businessman Peter Haag, in a Mumbai court, citing mental and physical abuse spanning their 15-year marriage.
In the petition submitted through her lawyers at Karanjawala & Co., she alleges that Haag repeatedly subjected her to “cruelty, manipulation and physical abuse” under provisions of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act.
Jaitly describes Haag as “a narcissistic, self-absorbed individual” with a quick temper and an inclination to drink, which she says caused her continuous emotional distress. She claims he insulted her verbally, comparing her to a maidservant, and prevented her from working, gradually stripping her of her career, assets, and financial autonomy.
According to her complaint, the control escalated over time. She alleges that Haag persuaded her to transfer ownership of her Mumbai home to him during a period of personal grief — following the death of a newborn and both her parents — when she felt emotionally vulnerable.
