Meanwhile, a counter-complaint was filed by the other party—Rita Devi (wife of the late Sant Singh and a resident of Paiga village under the Barhara police station area)—naming her daughter-in-law Kanchan Devi, her father Angad Singh, Babli Devi, and Ravi Singh, along with three or four unidentified individuals, as accused.

In her complaint, she stated that she had come to the Ara Civil Court to attend a hearing. As they stepped outside, they were subjected to verbal abuse and physically assaulted, along with her son. Following the registration of the FIR, the police took immediate action and arrested Kanchan Devi, her father Angad Singh, and her sister Babita Devi.

It is worth noting that a physical altercation took place between the two parties outside the Civil Court on Thursday afternoon, resulting in injuries to two individuals from each side.
