This heinous incident has not only shattered the dreams of the victim but has also left her family in shock and grief.
Let us tell you that the victim lives with her aunt and grandparents. The victim’s dream is to become a DSP. But her father cannot help much, so he sent his beloved daughter to her aunt’s house. This is how the daughter’s aunt raised her. Although their financial condition was also bad, they ensured that the daughter gets a good education. The victim’s aunt supports the family with a meager salary of Rs 10,000 and she is also responsible for the care and education of the daughter.
