Eyewitness Gulzar Speaks
An eyewitness in the death case of Deepika Nagar on Tuesday recounted the moments after the young woman was found lying on the ground outside her residence in Jalpura village, stating that he had not seen her face before the incident and never heard anything negative about the accused Hrithik.
Speaking to ANI, eyewitness Gulzar Chaudhary said he rushed out after hearing a loud sound around 12:30 am. "I was inside my house when I heard a sound. I ran outside... I saw the woman from the house across the street, Hrithik's wife, lying on the ground. I went over, lifted her up, and just then, Hrithik came running down from upstairs, shouting," Chaudhary said.
He added that the woman was immediately taken to the hospital in a neighbour's vehicle. "We put her in Manoj Pradhan's car. This happened around 12.30 AM. Her face was turned toward the ground. It was touching the ground," he said.
Chaudhary further stated that the family largely kept to themselves and that he had never witnessed any disputes. "She lived modestly. She would always leave the house with her face veiled by a 'ghoonghat'. We never heard of any fights or arguments between them. Nor did we hear anything negative about Hrithik. He is a good young man as well," he said.
