“I never tortured the girl. She was suffering from a skin allergy. I have no idea how she received an injury on her head,” the prime suspect in the case told a joint investigation team (JIT).

According to police sources, the judge’s wife had no answer in her defence. They mentioned she hurled accusations when asked the reason for the violence.

Meanwhile, she could be summoned again before the joint investigation team, as she could not satisfy the investigators during the probe.
