She alleged that her daughter was killed because her ex-in laws wanted to evict her from the house she was living in.
The couple was married in 2010. Shabnam was given triple talaq by her husband in 2014.
She had filed a petition in the Supreme Court on May 7, 2018 against the divorce. Since then, Shabnam has been living in her ex-husband’s house with her daughter.
Surendranath Tiwari, SP (City), said a forensic team was sent at the spot immediately after getting the information of the incident. Further investigations are on, he added.
