Everyone was in joyous mood when the woman was brought back to her home, as per custom.
If a rape did occur, there would have been visible injuries/ bruises on the woman or she would be visibly depressed.
But there was nothing of such sort, Tomthingnanbi said and objected to the allegations levelled against her brother.
