Muskaan's desperate plea

He added Muskan and Sahil were brought to the jail three days ago. As soon as they arrived, they started demanding that they be kept in a nearby barrack. However, it was clearly told that according to the system in the jail, there is no contact between the male and female barracks. In such a situation, both have been kept separately. Whenever a prisoner comes, his health is tested. Drugs are not available in the jail. They are being given medicines. They are being counseled through the de-addiction center and are being engaged in yoga and meditation.

When I called her, she said that her family members are angry with her. They will not fight the case. In such a situation, she should be provided a government lawyer. A letter is being sent to the court regarding this.

However the doctors informed that they are drug addicts. Medicines are given to those who have been taking drugs for a long time. They are gradually improving. They will get rid of their drug habit in 10 to 15 days. He said that Sahil has not yet taken any decision regarding the public lawyer.

Let's also tell you that Muskan's parents had already said that Saurabh was a good husband but their daughter was wrong. Saurabh was an officer in the Merchant Navy. He was in London for the last two years. According to reports, after returning from London, he came to know about Muskan and Sahil's affair.

After about 13 days it was found that Saurabh's body was in the drum. After this Muskan and Sahil have been arrested.
