Reporters were informed by DCP (North Kanpur) Shravan Kumar Singh that the woman was reportedly furious over the man's wedding being finalized. After 20 days, she returned to the gym on the day of the crime, and the two of them got into the car to talk. After a fight broke out, he struck her in the neck, causing her to pass out and then he killed her.

It is worth noting that the accused was apprehended after a thorough chase by the police. Further details are awaited as the police continue to probe all possible angles in the case.
