As of October 1, 2025, Telugu film actress Dimple Hayathi and her husband, David, are embroiled in a legal dispute after their domestic help filed a police complaint alleging harassment, assault, and abuse.
The complainant, 22-year-old Priyanka Bibar from Odisha, began working as a domestic helper at the couple's residence in Hyderabad on September 22.

She claims Dimple Hayathi and David often denied her adequate food, subjected her to verbal abuse, and insulted her, allegedly saying, "Your life is not even equal to my shoes."
The situation escalated on the morning of September 29, following a dispute triggered by the couple's pet dog barking.

When Priyanka attempted to record the altercation on her phone, David allegedly snatched the device, smashed it on the ground, and attempted to physically assault her. Priyanka's clothes were reportedly torn in the ensuing scuffle, but she managed to escape.
With the assistance of her agent, Priyanka subsequently lodged a complaint with the Filmnagar Police. Based on her statement, the police have registered a case against Dimple Hayathi and David under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
