Divya's father, Mahesh Meena, had borrowed Rs 7 lakh from the company in 2021 to construct the house but had fallen behind on loan repayments due to a family crisis, Keshoraipatan Circle Officer Devesh Bharadwaj said.

However, Mahesh had paid 17 installments before defaulting, Bharadwaj said. According to the CO, the finance company followed legal procedures for the seizure and had informed the borrower in advance after they served them a notice. Rajasthan Double Suicide: Woman Kills Herself As Husband Arrives Late on Karwa Chauth, He Hangs Himself to Death in Shock in Harmara.
