What Neighbours Say

Vinod's family moved to Delhi from Uttarakhand around 1990. Neighbour Rajesh Shah stated, "I have been living in Karawal Nagar since 1985. Vinod's family came just 2-3 years after us. Our families have known each other since then. They have been good neighbours, never had any disputes."

Vinod Worked in Insurance and Finance

Vinod worked in insurance and finance. Vinod and Bhavna have a 10-year-old son and a five-year-old daughter.
