Eight months into her marriage, 28-year-old Shivani had developed a habit of waiting for her husband Amit Baliyan’s call early in the morning when he was on duty as a fire operator at the office of Delhi Fire Services (DFS).
The morning of January 2, 2020, was no different. Amit was in office and Shivani was waiting for his 7 a.m. call to start her day.
