She alleged a particular person “has swindled me of my money, property and documents.” “Not only do I not have any support from the party and leaders, but it has also come to my knowledge that several amongst them have been actively helping and supporting the very person who has betrayed my trust and cheated me of my life earnings,” she said in the detailed statement.
