Shamsher Khan tried to resolve the matter through negotiation but it was of no avail. He even approached the village Panchayat who allegedly called his daughter a 'mad woman' and advised a divorce.
The couple had been married for a year, but the victim's father claims they were unaware of the man’s first marriage and that he was planning to marry the third time.
