In the summer of 2013, he was charged with 45 felonies and 2 misdemeanors for beating his girlfriend. Security cameras allegedly caught Chahal hitting  Juliet Kakish 117 times over a half-hour period in his San Francisco apartment. The complaint against Chahal accused him of hitting Kakish repeatedly in the head, assaulting her with a pillow, dragging her from the bed to the floor, covering her mouth to obstruct her breathing, and hitting her in the lower body approximately 15 times while threatening to kill her. He was arrested but was able to post the $1 million bail and was released shortly thereafter. In April of 2014, Chahal dodged jail time, and all 45 felony charges were dropped, when the judge threw out the video stating it was illegally obtained without a warrant; Kakish also declined to press charges. Police said they did not want to risk waiting for a warrant because they feared the video would be erased, but the judge did not buy into the argument.
