On the evening of November 5th, the couple had gone to a relative's house in Kulappa Colony, as their own home lacked a toilet.

The furious Nagaraj then proceeded to strangle her, leaving her lifeless on the road.

After committing the violent act, Nagaraj tried to end his own life by choking himself. He was found in a semi-conscious state when the police arrived and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
