In September 2023, the girl had eloped with Mukul, leading to his arrest under the Pocso Act. Following his release on bail, the two conspired to kill her father. After the murders, they evaded capture for nearly three months, travelling across several states.
Haridwar SSP Pramindra Dobal said, "The girl was initially detained in the city after locals found her roaming suspiciously. During interrogation, she confessed to the crime and also disclosed her accomplice's identity. We then handed her over to Jabalpur police even as we continue with our efforts to locate Mukul."
The girl admitted that Mukul devised the plan to kill her father, Rajkumar Vishwakarma. During the crime, her younger brother Tanishk woke up, leading them to kill him as well to eliminate a witness.
