The next morning, Khushbu informed her in-laws about the assault. Initially, they assured her that they would talk to Dilip, but later they claimed that she had set herself on fire.

Dilip And His Family Background 

According to the NDTV report, Khushbu married Dilip Pipliya of Anjad, Barwani, six months ago, on February 2, 2025. While her in-laws run a clothing shop, her husband remains unemployed. According to Khushbu, he constantly harassed her over dowry and often expressed his dislike for her.

Khushbu’s Brother Rescued Her 

As soon as she informed her family about the assault on Monday morning, her younger brother went to Anjad to bring her back, which led to a dispute with her in-laws. Despite resistance, he managed to rescue her. Shortly after, the in-laws arrived at the family’s home in a car and threatened that she must return within half an hour or face dire consequences. The family then approached the police station, following which Khushbu was admitted to the hospital with police assistance.

ASI Rekha Bhalrai of Jaitapur Police Station said that the victim’s statement is being recorded and the case is currently under investigation.
