They stopped talking to me and left me all alone,” she wrote.Speaking to Bangalore Mirror, Devika said, “How can she say my kids harassed her? I have lodged a complaint against her with the Child Rights Commission and also to the police for her allegation. She didn’t even have some common sense to allege against small kids?”
