It was learnt that Dilip, who worked as a painter, used to harass his wife on a regular basis. He was also learnt to be an alcoholic and doubted wife's moral character. Dilip would pick up fight with wife on trivial issues.

Sushma's relatives, aware of Dilip's continuous mental torture to his wife, started expressing their wrath in the hospital premises. Apparently Dilip would at many times not allow Sushma meet her family members. On the contrary, Dilip would often abuse Sushma's family members.
