They are blessed with two daughters (who are married) and one son. Her husband is the sole bread winner of the family. Her husband used to go to the near-by shop every day in the morning to buy milk and on 10.01.2013 at about 5.30 a.m., as usually, her husband went to the near-by shop to buy milk. Without knowing that the electricity cable was cut and lying on the road unattended, her husband stamped the electricity cable and due to high voltage current passing into him, he screamed loudly and fell on the road. The petitioner along with her son and few neighbours, rushed to the place of occurrence and saw the petitioner's husband lying on the road without any response.
