According to media reports, the woman from Barakholi near Indora in North Nagpur under Jaripatka police jurisdiction had an extra-marital relationship with her colleague, from whom she had borrowed Rs 1 lakh but was not returning. She had taken the amount for construction of her house. The woman was learnt to be demanding an additional loan of Rs 20,000 from him, which had left him angry.
