           There was fierce war going on between France and German. Amar Singh of Goth village of Rath region of Garhwal enrolled in British army. After marriage he went to France for fighting for British in the war (1915). His wife Devki was with her in laws.
                  No news came of Amar Singh for many months. Devki used to remember her husband.
         After some time, news came that her husband is killed in the war.  Devki was now widow. She started passing her time as virtuous and religious widow.

 It was evening time. The villagers had come back to houses after works. Some women were busy cooking food, some were milking the cows.
                  In that time, a Heeng/asafetida seller Kabuliwala came in the village. He was fearful. Nobody gave him shelter. Devki offered him food too.
                 Devki’s house was far away from main village. Kind hearted Devki provided him a ground floor room for spending a night.
  Devki slept on first floor.
        At midnight, Devki heard that Kabuliwala was knocking doors and Kabuliwala was threatening that if she does not open door, he would kill her. Kabuliwala broke the door. Kabuliwala was with a knife. Kabuliwala wanted to rape her.
    It was ‘do and die situation’ for Devki. She took her sickle and beheaded Kabuliwala.
