My brother was murdered by villagers on the issue of harvesting fields. The accused were armed with deadly weapons like shotgun, ballam, bhala, sword and lathi-danda (club). They immediately came to my field and stopped my brother from moving the tractor to the field. During the heated exchange of words, one of the accused had hit my brother with ballam at the centre of chest with full force. That attack was targeted at the vital part. After receiving that injury my brother fell and died immediately. The trial court convicted the accused for culpable homicide instead of murder and sentenced to ten years rigorous imprisonment.

However, as time went by, she noticed that her boyfriend was becoming increasingly controlling and abusive towards her.

Desperate to keep the relationship intact, she reluctantly agreed. Things took a turn for the worse when boyfriend threatened to share the nude photos with her family and on social media. She was horrified at the thought of such a violation of her privacy and dignity, and she began to fear for her safety. Although he initially resisted, he eventually relented and left her alone.
