Since Kumar’s husband was posted in the field, the family was required to shift to a smaller accommodation, as is the norm. According to Kumar, Brigadier Singh knew that the couple had asked for an accommodation near Pratap Chowk.

The couple’s daughter was in the Class 12, and Pratap Chowk, their preferred place of residence, would have been a stone’s throw from her school and coaching centres.

After allegedly being subjected to inappropriate suggestions on that particular evening, Kumar had reportedly warned Brigadier Singh that if “he ever stopped me again, he’d have to rewrite the definition of hell and heaven.”

Following this incident, Kumar asserts that her family was not allotted a house in the locality they had asked for. She goes on to assert that Brigadier Singh was well aware of her back issues, but had still allotted the family a flat on the 7th floor of a building.
