According to police, Ramesh Chandra, a development officer with LIC and a native of Sarai Jayram village in the Nawabganj area, lived with his family in a house he had built in Mandakini Colony.

Police said the incident occurred in the presence of the couple's three sons, aged 17, 11 and four years. After the killing, Ramesh allegedly hung the body in an attempt to make it appear as a suicide. During investigation, he reportedly confessed to the crime, admitting that he tried to stage the scene out of panic.
