Whe she refused, Danish used to torture her physically and mentally. The brother of the deceased has demanded formation of SIT headed by a High Court judge to investigate the death of his sister."

(Sir, I want to confess one more thing. I gave birth to a baby while I was in relationship with Danish. The baby was with me for a couple of days)."
