This SMS was sent to me by her (Lipika Mitra) on February 25, 2015. Can you imagine a wife calling her husband in such a way who is trying to murder her?" asked Bharti.
"I have audio and documentary evidences, which will bring out the truth and prove that all the allegations against me are false," he added.
