Shraddha, the daughter of Suresh's second wife, had filed a petition in the High Court, asserting her proportionate share of the compensation amount. The government had deposited all the amount in the court before it was decided to be entitled to compensation. Hatankar's first wife Shubhada and the couple's daughter Surabhi were also present in the hearing of the case via video conference and claimed that they did not know that Hatankar had a "second family". However, Shraddha's lawyer Prekkar Sharma told the court that Surabhi and Shubhada knew about Hatankar's second marriage and had earlier contacted on Facebook.
