The complainant said her daughter had been insisting on marrying him, but the family refused as she is a minor. “Frequent arguments took place over the issue, and she had allegedly threatened to harm the family if her demand was not met,” the complaint stated.
She further told police that she had gone to her brother’s house on April 26. When she returned home on May 2 around 4.30 pm, her husband was missing. Despite searching extensively, she could not trace him.
She later suspected that her daughter, along with Vikas Shah, had abducted and murdered her husband and disposed of the body. Following this, she approached the police along with her brother and lodged a written complaint.
