Her father, Ramji Lal alleged that a month after the marriage in June 2026, Muskan got to know that Nilesh was already married to another woman who lived in Indore. Lal said he suspects that Nilesh might have pushed her following which she fell and died.“I watched the hotel CCTV footage. It appears to me that as soon as my daughter entered, he pushed her over something. A person cannot fall so quickly on their own.
If someone is pushed, they would move their hands and legs or react in some way. He hit her with such force that you can see how forcefully she was thrown. I have 100% suspicion because of his first wife. He would often harass my daughter by saying that his first wife was more beautiful and better than her, and that she and her father were worth nothing,” Lal was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
