What is her fault?
The daughter-in-law Shweta is a native of Mumbai. Her marriage with Pawan was solemnised grandly in 2021. Shweta was pregnant when the scam was unearthed. Later on, she delivered a baby and there was some sympathy with her. Now, her baby is eight months old. Within a year of the marriage, Adhane, registered a society in the name of her daughter-in-law and transferred the money from other accounts and loaned money into her account. Besides, the money was also diverted into her personal bank account. Hence her arrest was expected.
