"Even though the accused have been arrested, their names are not there in the FIR. We are being threatened to withdraw the case," the deceased's sister alleged.
The victim was stabbed at her house by Amit, 25, and his cousin Basant, 19, on January 18. The girl's three-year-old niece witnessed the gruesome attack.
The incident occurred in Dharampura colony at around 2 PM when she was at her house along with her niece who, after the accused struck, somehow managed to alert the neighbours but the duo managed to flee, police said.
The accused had bought two knives and brutally stabbed her nine times on front and back, they said, adding that Amit was talking to her brother for the last four months in a bid to get close to her.
When Amit got married, the victim told him that she did not want to stay in touch with him. At this, he planed to kill her, police said.
