Vikas told the police that he suspected Ronil to have an affair with the girl. Vikas also suspected that the girl had rejected his proposal at the behest of Ronil.
Nevertheless, when Vikas wanted to know about her relationship between her and Ronil who, the girl said, was like her brother. She also uploaded a picture on social media, tying ‘rakhi’ around the wrist of Ronil, but Vikas was not convinced and planned to eliminate Ronil.
On October 25, Vikas met Ronil in Shyam Nagar and said that he would like to meet the latter. Ronil said he would do so after school hours on October 31.
