Twinkle’s mother stated that her daughter used to stay in Delhi and was preparing for medical examinations. According to her mother, Twinkle came back to Munger only a few months ago and described her daughter’s relationship with Asif as friendship.

Twinkle’s mother said that her had daughter left the house on Friday around 7 PM saying that she was going to her friend Mohammad Asif’s house in Sujavalpur to borrow a book from him. When it was too late and Twinkle didn’t return, the mother called on her mobile several times but Twinkle was not responding to the calls. Her mother then tried to search for Twinkle but she could not find her. Her mother said that she had no enmity with anyone.

A representative of MLA Vijay Kumar said that the deceased woman is the niece of Kumar and the daughter of his younger brother late Manoj Prasad Yadav.

He told that Asif’s father Mohammad Irshad works in Dubai and the deceased lived with his mother and younger brother in Sujawalpur.
