Again, on dated 12.3.24, when my daughter returned after appearing in exam, then also relations were developed forcibly. Sir, when I came from my shop for going to washroom, then, on hearing noise being coming from room, then, I got opened the door and then, Rohit was committing rape upon my daughter forcibly and on my raising alarm, my mother-in-law came upstairs.
When we both tried to catch hold of them, then, he fled away by pushing us and asserted that I will kill all of you.
