Om Prakash Singh Rathore, 70, died of starvation and neglect, while Rashmi (27) was found in a skeletal condition. According to Amar Singh Rathore, his brother Om Prakash retired in 2015 and moved into a separate house with Rashmi after his wife’s death in 2016. advertisement"Since he did not know how to cook, Om Prakash hired Ram Prakash Kushwaha and his wife Ram Devi to look after him and Rashmi. The couple then gradually took over the house and confined my brother and niece to rooms on the ground floor, while they lived comfortable upstairs," Amar Singh said, adding that his brother was taken to the hospital only once.
