She demanded a monthly rent of Rs 20,000, maintenance of Rs 50,000 and a compensation of Rs 13 crore.</p>.<p>Mohanty, who was first elected to Rajya Sabha in 2014 as the youngest member at the age of 32, is at present an MP from Kendrapara Lok Sabha constituency.</p>.<p>On February 8, 2014, he got married to Varsha, his batchmate.

This kind of behavior by her made him uncomfortable, unhappy and the petitioner never felt that he is married as she never gave him the pleasure of being married," his petition, filed by advocate Ashwani K Dubey, read.</p>.<p>During the six-year period, Mohanty said he tried to convince the wife on several occasions to have normal relations. In June 2015, he went to the USA to attend Odiya convention and made special arrangements to make his wife comfortable but she "again refused to have sex with the petitioner just to harass and insult him".</p>.<p>He said Varsha had been living separately from him since May 1, 2019.
