According to the police, Kusuma and her husband, Suresh, had frequent arguments. Two days before the tragedy, the couple had a heated quarrel. It is believed that this dispute pushed Kusuma to take the extreme step.

The timing of the incident is particularly harrowing, as it coincided with the death of Suresh's mother. On the same day as her mother-in-law's demise, Kusuma reportedly decided to "teach her husband a lesson" through this drastic action.
