After returning, she confronted Salman in the Gosainganj area about a potential marriage dispute, threatening to send him and his accomplices to jail, the officer said.
This prompted the group to conspire against her, ultimately leading to her murder on September 20, he added.

"In the ensuing pursuit, the accused opened fire on the police, who retaliated. All three suspects sustained gunshot wounds and were subsequently taken into custody and sent to a hospital for treatment," he said.
Further legal proceedings in the case are being carried out, the police said.
