With all left over food being kept in the room itself, there are now many cockroaches and she is living in unhygienic conditions.”On the other side, the advocate of Rajani Bhagat stated in the courtroom that Sheetal wanted the sole tenancy of the bungalow in whcih Sheetal, her mother, and sister were living after the death of Rajani’s father and husband a few years ago.
