Despite repeated attempts, the woman’s husband did not respond to calls or texts by The Indian Express. Advertising On Monday night, the woman’s neighbour heard the girl fall. Another man, Sukant Singh Rajput, who called police on Monday, said: “I peeked out of my window and saw a man holding the girl in his arms.
