“Didi’s brothers who are creating trouble should change their habits in the next six months, otherwise you will have your arms, leg, ribs and head broken. You’ll have to take a trip to the hospital. And if you do more than that, then you will have to go the crematorium,” Ghosh was quoted as saying.
