According to a police official, the woman was pressuring him to marry her, but he refused. This often led to a fight between the two.

On the evening of April 18, the man picked up the woman in Mankhurd and drove her to Khadavli in Thane's Kalyan district.

He allegedly killed her at 1:00am on April 19 and threw her body in the rivulet, the official added.
