Scratch marks found on body
Deceased’s father Nandlal said Lokendra's body was discovered under suspicious circumstances at their home on Thursday. However, both Anjali and her cousin Nandu were missing at the time. When he took him to the hospital, doctors declared him dead.
During preparations for Lokendra's last rites, his cousin, Dinesh Kushwaha, noticed scratch marks on his neck. This raised suspicion, leading to a formal complaint with the police. A brief post-mortem report confirmed it was a case of murder. Based on this, the police arrested Anjali, her cousin Nandu, and her lover Gaurav. They have been charged with murder.

Wife disliked husband from beginning
According to SP R.K. Sagar, the accused have confessed to their crime. Anjali and Lokendra were married four years ago, but Anjali never liked her husband and was romantically involved with Gaurav.
Police investigations revealed that Gaurav had stopped visiting Anjali’s house after Lokendra warned him not to. Gaurav then told Anjali that he wouldn’t come over as long as Lokendra was around. This prompted Anjali to make up her mind to get rid of her husband.
