Two provincial prosecutor’s offices of the Department of Justice (DOJ) have dismissed the complaints for violations of Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act (VAWC) filed against Filipino-Indian businessman Rajiv Prem Chandiramani by his former wife.

The Provincial Prosecution Office of Bohol, in a resolution, ruled that the allegations of physical harm, verbal abuse, threats, abandonment, or neglect by complainant Vicki Narawani against Chandiramani were “fabricated.”

The resolution issued on Jan. 15, 2026 was signed by Officer-in-Charge Eric M. Ucat of the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office.

It stated that to allow the complaint to proceed “would give premium to fabrication over fact, conjecture over evidence, and narrative over proof – an outcome wholly inconsistent with the principles of due process and the orderly administration of justice.”

“While Republic Act No. 9262 (VAWC law) remains a vital instrument for the protection of genuine victims, it was never intended to serve as a talisman to sustain legally untenable, manufactured, or unsupported claims, nor as a vehicle to elevate fabricated testimony above objective truth,” it added.

Also dismissed was a similar VAWC complaint filed by Narwani against Chandiramani before the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Pampanga.

In a 10-page resolution approved by Provincial Prosecutor Lamberto A. Gonzalez Jr., Associate Prosecutor Mayda E. Lintag-Ursua held that the allegations of the complainant were “couched in general terms lacking details that support each allegation making them less credible.”

The resolution, dated Jan. 29, 2026, did not give credence to the complainant’s claim that she had been undergoing therapy because of the abuses she experienced from her former husband, noting that her psychological report shows she had her consultations only 11 years after the Pampanga incident.

Narwani charged Chandiramani of slapping and hitting her on the face while hurling invectives against her at a gasoline station in 2014. She claimed she was seven months pregnant when the incident happened.

Chandiramani denied all the accusations.

The resolution that denied the complaint stated that Narwani failed to present evidence that would corroborate her accusations.

It stated: “Complainant should have subjected herself to a medical examination right after the incident considering she was seven months pregnant at that time. This incident could have greatly affected the health of the baby in her womb at that time if indeed she was greatly affected by the said incident and had been subjected to physical violence.”

In the Bohol complaint, Narwani claimed that Chandiramani hurled insults and invectives at her in the presence of their minor son while on vacation in Panglao in 2018.

She alleged that Chandiramani became more violent when she tried to pacify him and threatened to inflict further harm on her while tightly grabbing her.

The commotion reportedly prompted resort employees to call the authorities to intervene and questioned them about what happened.

She said the police officers who responded advised her to file a formal complaint. She also said she did not file a formal complaint for fear of her safety and that of her son.

Thereafter, she said that her husband abandoned her.

In her complaint before the prosecutor’s office, Narwani presented the sworn statement of police officer Rommel Roy Villareal, screenshots of text messages, and psychological report, among other pieces of evidence.

However, the provincial prosecutor held that the sworn statement of Villareal is “pure hearsay” and noted the absence of blotter entry, a dispatch log, an incident report and other documentation about the incident.

“A careful dispassionate scrutiny of Villareal’s affidavit, however, reveals grave, fundamental, and irreconcilable defects that altogether obliterate its credibility,” the resolution stated.

“Taken together, the affidavit is not evidence of genuine police response but a contrived document designed to create the illusion of corroboration,” it added.

It called the psychological report submitted by the complainant as “evidentially bankrupt.”

“Though presented as an expert evaluation, it is wholly dependent on the complainant’s unilateral narration and utterly fails to identify – much less analyze – the alleged Panglao, Bohol incident as a factual course of any psychological or emotional injury,” the resolution also stated.

Chandiramani was represented in the two complaints by lawyer Jose Mari Magsalin.

Narwani and Chandiramani were married in Singapore in 2014. Their divorce became final in 2023.
