According to ADGC Kailash Nath, the plaintiff, Ramashankar lodged a complaint at the Cantt police station on November 12, 2015, alleging that his sister Sunita was married to Bhaiyalal in the year 1997. After marriage, her sister’s mother-in-law Bhallar Devi used to beat and torture her sister. Meanwhile, on November 11, 2015, his brother-in-law called at 10.30 pm and told that his sister’s health was very bad.
