"My mummy-papa are very angry with me; I didn't listen to them. They aren't talking to me, nor will they fight my case," pleaded Muskan Rastogi, currently in jail for the alleged murder of her husband.

MEERUT:

She stated that even after four days, no one from her family had come to meet her. In her plea to the jail administration, she requested legal aid, saying, "In this situation, I won't be able to present my side in court. Please provide me with a government lawyer so I can defend myself."

Muskan, accused along with her alleged lover Sahil Shukla, has formally requested legal assistance, as her parents have refused to support her. Her application is now under review by the jail authorities.

Meanwhile, Sahil has not requested a government lawyer. "He mentioned that his family might take up his case. If they don't, he will request legal aid later," Sharma noted.
