‘She left the home along with my daughter and boarded a bus. I have been looking for her for three days and given her photograph too to the police but they haven't been able to find her,’ Burman was quoted as saying.

Aarti was upset after her husband used two tomatoes she put aside without consulting her.
The couple started an argument over it, which led the wife to pack her things, taking along their daughter.
The police acknowledged having received a complaint, and a senior cop said ‘Aarti left her home after an argument with her husband and went to her sister's place in Umaria.’
