Gittikhadan Police Inspector R D Nikam told Nagpur Today that preliminary investigation has revealed that Shivani was somewhat weak in studies. Her parents had great expectations from Shivani and often ‘cajoled’ her to go through regular studies. The Class IX exams were soon to commence. And this fact made Shivani uneasy. This uneasiness could have forced Shivani to take the extreme step, said the PI Nikam.
