Ex-Husband and Father-in-Law Arrested After Lawyer Reports Threats
A few of weeks ago, Anjali went to the police to report threats against her life and fears for her safety. Her ex-husband Nitin Garg and his father Pawan Garg were both arrested in connection with the crime after her family reported them to the police. After their divorce, according to the police, Anjali and her ex-husband’s family got into a property dispute. “After divorcing in 2020, Anjali and her husband Nitin Garg agreed to a settlement in which Anjali had to give up the house in exchange for five shops. She broke the deal, though, and the Garg family became displeased with her. Pawan and Nitin wanted the house back, and Anjali relied on the rent from the stores for income. Over time, the confrontation got worse,” SP (city) Piyush Kumar said.

She said, “Pawan and his cronies will be accountable if anything bad happens to me.”
