Police officials who arrived at the crime scene tried to call her son, but his phone was off. The next morning, on August 17, at 7am, he arrived and expressed shock over the incident. But police were not convinced of his body language and he was grilled over the coincidence of him switching phone around the time of the murder.
Upon grilling Varun, he confessed. Police arrested his father Anjani and hitmen Naveen Kumar, Nagaraju, Pradeep and Nagaraja from their hideouts.
After her separation, 15 years ago, the woman managed to obtain property through hard work which became the motive for her husband and son to kill her.
