A month after India's top couturier Rohit Bal's death, a battle has broken out over who he has willed his assets to. While his close friend, former model Lalit Tehlan, claims that the will in his possession states a major chunk to him, Rohit's brother Rajiv Bal says that they, too, have a will and have no idea about the one Lalit is talking about. So, what exactly is this curious case of two wills?

Lalit, who was spotted with Rohit at almost all events, says, "Rohit owned 99% of Rohit Bal Designs Pvt Ltd. And 1% belongs to Billa (Rajiv). You need two directors in a company. Most of the assets fall under the company. Major chunk will come to me along with movable and immovable assets, which includes his personal house, personal bank account, his fixed deposits."

He also revealed that Rohit gave employees like his cook and driver a very handsome amount for their long-standing service in his company, adding that other details will be closed as and when the will is shown.
