A lady, the second spouse of Harmish (name changed), is blamed for killing her stepdaughter. There is no observer to the occurrence and she has been involved exclusively based on incidental proof. She was available with the casualty on the housetop of their home and the police, at her case, have recouped a blade and a stick – weapons used to execute the tyke. Harmish is an observer against his better half.

Debates have tenacious Harmish's family before the murder. Lawful procedures asserting mental and physical torment have been started against two of Harmish's siblings by their spouses – and the couples have been living independently since. As indicated by Harmish, his first spouse kicked the bucket of disease. He claims that his second spouse killed his girl since she didn't care for the kid.
