She suddenly came out of Tehsildar's cabin shouting aggressively and poured kerosene on her body, in an attempt to commit suicide. However, before she could set herself afire, some people quickly intervened and overpowered her.
Later, talking to media persons, Ranjeeta Singh said that some people having connections with the ruling BJP have illegally encroached upon her land located in Barwara, and she had lodged a complaint regarding the same at Tehsil office around 6 months ago.

Tehsildar is favouring the land encroachers because they are associated with the BJP & this biased approach of Tehsildar made me take this step.
