Soon he stopped her from visiting the temple and started pressurising her to change her religion.
Later, the man started torturing her. She had also made a video of the torture and submitting it to police. When the matter came to light, she was kept imprisoned and tortured at home.
She said that her relationship with the man worsened after she gave birth to a daughter. A week ago, she was dragged out of her house with her daughter.
