According to Mukesh, Priyansha was very enthusiastic about the Navratri festival and was actively preparing for it, with Mukesh also supporting her. However, on the day Navratri commenced, Priyansha began her periods, preventing her from starting the fast or worshipping the Goddess, which left her deeply saddened. Despite Mukesh’s attempts to comfort her, she remained distressed.
The following day, while Mukesh was at the shop, Priyansha ingested poison. Upon discovering her condition, she was immediately taken to Jhansi Medical College, where her health initially improved with treatment.
Unfortunately, upon returning home, her condition deteriorated again, and she was rushed to Jhansi District Hospital, where she passed away during treatment.
