A relative told reporters his wife was being pressured to leave their village, Tipparpur. The couple had got married just four months ago, the relative said. Ashok had been quarantined in a school turned isolation centre near his village under Sahaspur police station in Vikas Nagar city, Dehradun district. “The other inmates said his wife Rajju Devi had visited the centre and they had together gone towards a nearby forest area. Those who wanted to support Ashok kept silent out of fear of the affluent villagers,” the relative was quoted as saying.
