The Photo Sent to Girlfriend's Father
During questioning, Shahganj Sub-Division Officer Ajit Chauhan mentioned that Aditya confessed to the murder. Explaining the motive behind the gruesome act, he revealed that Aditya was in love with a girl from Mumbai. His sister-in-law was aware of this affair and sent a photo of Aditya and the girl to her father. Displeased, the father assaulted the girl. Deeply troubled by the situation, the girl's mother committed suicide. Consequently, Aditya harbored resentment towards his sister-in-law, seeking revenge by tragically ending her life on Thursday afternoon.
