Collien Fernandes instantly countered the depiction on Instagram. “My God! I don’t believe it!” she wrote. “He had a small scratch on his neck (because a nail had been torn) and even told the police that I had not done any violence to him. And now they are writing about an injury on his neck, while I had bruises all over my body, this has been documented. Crazy!!”
