{{/usCountry}}Mamta said she had married Ramkaran after her first husband died about 18 years back. She used to run a business of selling milk along with Ramkaran. Her daughter and a son from her first marriage too stayed with her.
Mamta said she had come to hate Ramkaran since her daughter complained about his beastly act. The teenage girl told her mother that Ramkaran had forcibly established physical relations with her and issued life threats against speaking about it to anyone.
When Mamta checked up with Ramkaran he got into a tiff with her. She said she took the decision to eliminate Ramkaran when his forcible advances towards her daughter continued. Mamta discussed the matter with Sunil Pandey who was a regular customer at her dairy. Sunil accepted the offer and executed the job along with his friends.
