The deceased Umesh, a resident of Srigandhanagar, ran an eatery in the area. On May 12, he was in his hotel when he was killed.

After zeroing in on the accused, police learnt that Kiran and Umesh’s wife Roopa were in an illicit relationship for the past eight months.
Kishore had recorded videos of their private time together without her knowledge. He uploaded them on his Facebook page. When Umesh questioned Roopa about the video, they had a fight.
However, they patched things up and filed a police complaint against Kishore. Kishore was arrested and sent to jail in that case. After coming out on bail, Kishore and his associates hatched a plan to kill Roopa and Umesh.
