In her statement to the police, she revealed that after being abandoned by her husband she came to Delhi to marry a man, called Rahul, who she met on a social media platform.
However, Rahul’s family members were opposed to the marriage because of her child, who she killed in anger.
The woman further disclosed that she and her daughter had been staying at a relative’s place in Himachal Pradesh before coming to Delhi. She also accused her relative of sexually assaulting her daughter during their stay.
