Anuradha Bali, who married Mohan in 2009 and was later divorced, had remained controversial. She went missing in November 2008 with Mohan. They reappeared in early December 2008 as a married couple after embracing Islam. Following the controversy over his affair and second marriage, Mohan, elder son of Haryana chief minister Bhajan Lal, lost his job in the Bhupinder Singh Hooda government.

The marriage lasted hardly 40 days, with Mohan suddenly leaving her house January 28, 2009. After, he did not communicate with her at all.

Fiza led a high-profile life and was close to politicians and influential people in Chandigarh.
