Priyanka's mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law had also died, making her "uncomfortable" in her in-laws' house.

Priyanka arrived at her in-laws house in Sikrauda village four days ago for some work, police said.

The accused reportedly asked Priyanka to do some work, which she refused. A furious Gyansingh Gurjar allegedly shot Priyanka dead late Wednesday night and fled. ...
