Quotes

Praveen Jagtap

victim and husband of the accused

“She gave me sleeping pills, and I slept for two days. On the third day, I woke up slightly because she was beating me with a bat. I was telling her not to beat me, but she did not listen. After that, she picked me up and put me in the pit on the balcony. But when the workers came, they saw that I had moved my hand or leg. My life was saved because he called the police.”
