&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The wife murdered, the husband arrested for abetting the crime, their seven-year-old daughter mired in a paternity dispute. The eldest child, aged 18, has stopped going to college out of fear and ignominy. The other daughter, 15, has been thrown out of school. This is the family of Bhanwari Devi. Or what is left of it.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhanwari, the auxiliary nurse midwife who allegedly possessed a video of herself with sacked Congress minister Mahipal Maderna in a &amp;ldquo;compromising position&amp;rdquo;, and whose disappearance on September 1 raised a huge political storm, was officially declared dead by CBI yesterday.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Her husband Amarchand was arrested in December after he allegedly confessed to receiving money for abetting her murder.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The three children &amp;mdash; Sahil, Ashwini and Suhani &amp;mdash; and Amarchand&amp;rsquo;s 70-year-old mother Pooni Devi survive on the old woman&amp;rsquo;s pension. &amp;ldquo;Our lawyer left because we could not pay him. My father is now represented in court by a government-provided pleader. We had very little to begin with, now there is nothing,&amp;rdquo; said Sahil.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
None of them ever ventures out of the house in Borunda village, he said, except when they are called by CBI for questioning.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For over three months, little Suhani was told very little about her mother&amp;rsquo;s disappearance. But in December, CBI summoned her along with Sahil and Pooni to the Jodhpur circuit house for a sample of her blood following reports that her biological father could be Malkhan Singh, the arrested Congress MLA from Luni.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;They called us, made me sign a paper on which something was written in English and took a blood sample. I was not even told why,&amp;rdquo; said Sahil. A senior advocate who declined to be identified said it was illegal for the CBI to have taken the child&amp;rsquo;s sample without the consent of her guardian.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The result of the paternity test is awaited, sources said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
When The Indian Express first visited Bhanwari&amp;rsquo;s home in October, there were at least a dozen supporters from Amarchand&amp;rsquo;s Dalit community there, along with three police guards. Now there is no one.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The police left after my father was arrested, and so did the supporters. They said ours was a tainted family, and that they wanted no part of it. We have relatives in this village, but they are too scared to come home,&amp;rdquo; Sahil said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sahil has quit his B.Com course in a college in Nagaur. His sister Ashwini was thrown out of a government school in Jaipur because she remained absent for three months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Since September 1, my brother and I have stayed at home. In December I went back to Jaipur to rejoin class, but was told I had been dismissed. The owner of the private hostel I was staying in told me my family was controversial and asked me to leave,&amp;rdquo; said Ashwini.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
CBI could confirm Bhanwari&amp;rsquo;s death after Sahil identified his mother&amp;rsquo;s watch earlier this week. Bhanwari had been kidnapped and strangled, her body burnt and the remains smashed with sticks and dumped in a canal some 100 km from Jodhpur. CBI believes it has evidence to establish the involvement of Maderna and Singh in the murder.
&lt;/div&gt;

The wife murdered, the husband arrested for abetting the crime, their seven-year-old daughter mired in a paternity dispute. The eldest child, aged 18, has stopped going to college out of fear and ignominy. The other daughter, 15, has been thrown out of school. This is the family of Bhanwari Devi. Or what is left of it.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhanwari, the auxiliary nurse midwife who allegedly possessed a video of herself with sacked Congress minister Mahipal Maderna in a &amp;ldquo;compromising position&amp;rdquo;, and whose disappearance on September 1 raised a huge political storm, was officially declared dead by CBI yesterday.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Her husband Amarchand was arrested in December after he allegedly confessed to receiving money for abetting her murder.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The three children &amp;mdash; Sahil, Ashwini and Suhani &amp;mdash; and Amarchand&amp;rsquo;s 70-year-old mother Pooni Devi survive on the old woman&amp;rsquo;s pension. &amp;ldquo;Our lawyer left because we could not pay him. My father is now represented in court by a government-provided pleader. We had very little to begin with, now there is nothing,&amp;rdquo; said Sahil.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
None of them ever ventures out of the house in Borunda village, he said, except when they are called by CBI for questioning.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For over three months, little Suhani was told very little about her mother&amp;rsquo;s disappearance. But in December, CBI summoned her along with Sahil and Pooni to the Jodhpur circuit house for a sample of her blood following reports that her biological father could be Malkhan Singh, the arrested Congress MLA from Luni.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;They called us, made me sign a paper on which something was written in English and took a blood sample. I was not even told why,&amp;rdquo; said Sahil. A senior advocate who declined to be identified said it was illegal for the CBI to have taken the child&amp;rsquo;s sample without the consent of her guardian.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The result of the paternity test is awaited, sources said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
When The Indian Express first visited Bhanwari&amp;rsquo;s home in October, there were at least a dozen supporters from Amarchand&amp;rsquo;s Dalit community there, along with three police guards. Now there is no one.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The police left after my father was arrested, and so did the supporters. They said ours was a tainted family, and that they wanted no part of it. We have relatives in this village, but they are too scared to come home,&amp;rdquo; Sahil said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sahil has quit his B.Com course in a college in Nagaur. His sister Ashwini was thrown out of a government school in Jaipur because she remained absent for three months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Since September 1, my brother and I have stayed at home. In December I went back to Jaipur to rejoin class, but was told I had been dismissed. The owner of the private hostel I was staying in told me my family was controversial and asked me to leave,&amp;rdquo; said Ashwini.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
CBI could confirm Bhanwari&amp;rsquo;s death after Sahil identified his mother&amp;rsquo;s watch earlier this week. Bhanwari had been kidnapped and strangled, her body burnt and the remains smashed with sticks and dumped in a canal some 100 km from Jodhpur. CBI believes it has evidence to establish the involvement of Maderna and Singh in the murder.
&lt;/div&gt;

The wife murdered, the husband arrested for abetting the crime, their seven-year-old daughter mired in a paternity dispute. The eldest child, aged 18, has stopped going to college out of fear and ignominy. The other daughter, 15, has been thrown out of school. This is the family of Bhanwari Devi. Or what is left of it.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhanwari, the auxiliary nurse midwife who allegedly possessed a video of herself with sacked Congress minister Mahipal Maderna in a &amp;ldquo;compromising position&amp;rdquo;, and whose disappearance on September 1 raised a huge political storm, was officially declared dead by CBI yesterday.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Her husband Amarchand was arrested in December after he allegedly confessed to receiving money for abetting her murder.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The three children &amp;mdash; Sahil, Ashwini and Suhani &amp;mdash; and Amarchand&amp;rsquo;s 70-year-old mother Pooni Devi survive on the old woman&amp;rsquo;s pension. &amp;ldquo;Our lawyer left because we could not pay him.

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The wife murdered, the husband arrested for abetting the crime, their seven-year-old daughter mired in a paternity dispute. The eldest child, aged 18, has stopped going to college out of fear and ignominy. The other daughter, 15, has been thrown out of school. This is the family of Bhanwari Devi. Or what is left of it.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhanwari, the auxiliary nurse midwife who allegedly possessed a video of herself with sacked Congress minister Mahipal Maderna in a &amp;ldquo;compromising position&amp;rdquo;, and whose disappearance on September 1 raised a huge political storm, was officially declared dead by CBI yesterday.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Her husband Amarchand was arrested in December after he allegedly confessed to receiving money for abetting her murder.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The three children &amp;mdash; Sahil, Ashwini and Suhani &amp;mdash; and Amarchand&amp;rsquo;s 70-year-old mother Pooni Devi survive on the old woman&amp;rsquo;s pension. &amp;ldquo;Our lawyer left because we could not pay him. My father is now represented in court by a government-provided pleader. We had very little to begin with, now there is nothing,&amp;rdquo; said Sahil.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
None of them ever ventures out of the house in Borunda village, he said, except when they are called by CBI for questioning.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For over three months, little Suhani was told very little about her mother&amp;rsquo;s disappearance. But in December, CBI summoned her along with Sahil and Pooni to the Jodhpur circuit house for a sample of her blood following reports that her biological father could be Malkhan Singh, the arrested Congress MLA from Luni.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;They called us, made me sign a paper on which something was written in English and took a blood sample. I was not even told why,&amp;rdquo; said Sahil. A senior advocate who declined to be identified said it was illegal for the CBI to have taken the child&amp;rsquo;s sample without the consent of her guardian.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The result of the paternity test is awaited, sources said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
When The Indian Express first visited Bhanwari&amp;rsquo;s home in October, there were at least a dozen supporters from Amarchand&amp;rsquo;s Dalit community there, along with three police guards. Now there is no one.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The police left after my father was arrested, and so did the supporters. They said ours was a tainted family, and that they wanted no part of it. We have relatives in this village, but they are too scared to come home,&amp;rdquo; Sahil said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sahil has quit his B.Com course in a college in Nagaur. His sister Ashwini was thrown out of a government school in Jaipur because she remained absent for three months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Since September 1, my brother and I have stayed at home. In December I went back to Jaipur to rejoin class, but was told I had been dismissed. The owner of the private hostel I was staying in told me my family was controversial and asked me to leave,&amp;rdquo; said Ashwini.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
CBI could confirm Bhanwari&amp;rsquo;s death after Sahil identified his mother&amp;rsquo;s watch earlier this week. Bhanwari had been kidnapped and strangled, her body burnt and the remains smashed with sticks and dumped in a canal some 100 km from Jodhpur. CBI believes it has evidence to establish the involvement of Maderna and Singh in the murder.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The wife murdered, the husband arrested for abetting the crime, their seven-year-old daughter mired in a paternity dispute. The eldest child, aged 18, has stopped going to college out of fear and ignominy. The other daughter, 15, has been thrown out of school. This is the family of Bhanwari Devi. Or what is left of it.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Bhanwari, the auxiliary nurse midwife who allegedly possessed a video of herself with sacked Congress minister Mahipal Maderna in a &amp;ldquo;compromising position&amp;rdquo;, and whose disappearance on September 1 raised a huge political storm, was officially declared dead by CBI yesterday.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Her husband Amarchand was arrested in December after he allegedly confessed to receiving money for abetting her murder.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The three children &amp;mdash; Sahil, Ashwini and Suhani &amp;mdash; and Amarchand&amp;rsquo;s 70-year-old mother Pooni Devi survive on the old woman&amp;rsquo;s pension. &amp;ldquo;Our lawyer left because we could not pay him. My father is now represented in court by a government-provided pleader. We had very little to begin with, now there is nothing,&amp;rdquo; said Sahil.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
None of them ever ventures out of the house in Borunda village, he said, except when they are called by CBI for questioning.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
For over three months, little Suhani was told very little about her mother&amp;rsquo;s disappearance. But in December, CBI summoned her along with Sahil and Pooni to the Jodhpur circuit house for a sample of her blood following reports that her biological father could be Malkhan Singh, the arrested Congress MLA from Luni.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;They called us, made me sign a paper on which something was written in English and took a blood sample. I was not even told why,&amp;rdquo; said Sahil. A senior advocate who declined to be identified said it was illegal for the CBI to have taken the child&amp;rsquo;s sample without the consent of her guardian.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The result of the paternity test is awaited, sources said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
When The Indian Express first visited Bhanwari&amp;rsquo;s home in October, there were at least a dozen supporters from Amarchand&amp;rsquo;s Dalit community there, along with three police guards. Now there is no one.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The police left after my father was arrested, and so did the supporters. They said ours was a tainted family, and that they wanted no part of it. We have relatives in this village, but they are too scared to come home,&amp;rdquo; Sahil said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Sahil has quit his B.Com course in a college in Nagaur. His sister Ashwini was thrown out of a government school in Jaipur because she remained absent for three months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Since September 1, my brother and I have stayed at home. In December I went back to Jaipur to rejoin class, but was told I had been dismissed. The owner of the private hostel I was staying in told me my family was controversial and asked me to leave,&amp;rdquo; said Ashwini.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

Bhanwari had been kidnapped and strangled, her body burnt and the remains smashed with sticks and dumped in a canal some 100 km from Jodhpur.

Bhanwari killed, her children die a thousand deaths of stigma

-The Indian Express   The wife murdered, the husband arrested for abetting the crime, their seven-year-old daughter mired in a paternity dispute. The eldest child, aged 18, has stopped going to college out of fear and ignominy. The other daughter, 15, has been thrown out of school. This is the family of Bhanwari Devi. Or what is left of it. Bhanwari, the auxiliary nurse midwife who allegedly possessed a video of herself with sacked Congress minister Mahipal Maderna in a “compromising position”, and whose disappearance on September 1 raised a huge political storm, was officially declared dead by CBI yesterday. Her husband Amarchand was arrested in December after he allegedly confessed to receiving money for abetting her murder. The three children — Sahil, Ashwini and Suhani — and Amarchand’s 70-year-old mother Pooni Devi survive on the old woman’s pension. “Our lawyer left because we could not pay him. My father is now represented in court by a government-provided pleader. We had very little to begin with, now there is nothing,” said Sahil. None of them ever ventures out of the house in Borunda village, he said, except when they are called by CBI for questioning. For over three months, little Suhani was told very little about her mother’s disappearance. But in December, CBI summoned her along with Sahil and Pooni to the Jodhpur circuit house for a sample of her blood following reports that her biological father could be Malkhan Singh, the arrested Congress MLA from Luni. “They called us, made me sign a paper on which something was written in English and took a blood sample. I was not even told why,” said Sahil. A senior advocate who declined to be identified said it was illegal for the CBI to have taken the child’s sample without the consent of her guardian. The result of the paternity test is awaited, sources said. When The Indian Express first visited Bhanwari’s home in October, there were at least a dozen supporters from Amarchand’s Dalit community there, along with three police guards. Now there is no one. “The police left after my father was arrested, and so did the supporters. They said ours was a tainted family, and that they wanted no part of it. We have relatives in this village, but they are too scared to come home,” Sahil said. Sahil has quit his B.Com course in a college in Nagaur. His sister Ashwini was thrown out of a government school in Jaipur because she remained absent for three months. “Since September 1, my brother and I have stayed at home. In December I went back to Jaipur to rejoin class, but was told I had been dismissed. The owner of the private hostel I was staying in told me my family was controversial and asked me to leave,” said Ashwini. CBI could confirm Bhanwari’s death after Sahil identified his mother’s watch earlier this week. Bhanwari had been kidnapped and strangled, her body burnt and the remains smashed with sticks and dumped in a canal some 100 km from Jodhpur. CBI believes it has evidence to establish the involvement of Maderna and Singh in the murder.
