According to Mohsin's statement, Rakhi had become habitual gambler and was addicted to liquor. "All she would think about was gambling and drinking.

She would leave the kids alone at home while she went out to gamble. If I objected to her ways, she would fight with me. There have been arguments in the past too but this is the first time that she became aggressive with me," he told the cops.

However, Mohsin's sister Ayesha told the cops that Rakhi has attacked Mohsin in the past too

Investigation Officer S B Ninama said, "The woman attacked her husband when he asked her to stop gambling. We are investigating the circle of people with whom she used to gamble. We are looking for the accused."
