Uttar Pradesh: When police raided the house in Pilibhit, Abhishek hid in the farm house
Abhishek, who had seduced the woman, was hiding in his father’s farm house in Rampurakone village of Puranpur area to escape from the police. There are mostly big huts and farm houses in the village, so Abhishek was hopeful that the police would not be able to reach there.
