In the other story, Priya mentioned that the cameras were installed for security purposes and not to spy on any of their staff, hence the couple never bothered to check the footage before. At last Sonam’s cousin demanded stricter laws against animal cruelty and their enforcement so that people think twice before indulging in any kind of such abusive activity. At last Sonam wrote, “This note, images, and visuals were sent to me by my cousin sister Priya Singh and Ranbir Batra. This happened in their house. It has mortified and devastated me.”
