Rekha lives on the footpath near Bhadrakali temple in Karanj with her husband. She was reportedly in a relationship with 19-year-old Sabir Pathan and 23-year-old Raju Damor. She would earn money picking rags. Instead of helping her, Jignesh wouldn't work and spend all her money. Fed up with this, Rekha had last week told Pathan and Damor that she wanted to get rid of her husband. Ahmedabad Shocker: Woman, Brother-In-Law Held For Killing Her Son To Hide Illicit Affair.
