The pair decided to live together, prompting Nemi Devi to leave her in-laws' home under the guise of errands. Her sudden disappearance led her husband to file a missing persons report at the Jaisalmer Sadar police station. On Monday, Nemi Devi presented herself at the women's police station in Barmer district headquarters with her partner, Bhima Ram, whereupon Sadar Jaisalmer police were informed.

Nemi Devi stated that though she has five children, her husband was abusive and suspicious, making her life unbearable.
