Prayas Pandey used his assistant, Manas Singh Lodhi, to hire three individuals including Vikram Ahirwar. The conspirators lay in wait and rammed a loading vehicle hard into Kavita Chaudhary's scooter, killing her on the spot to make it look like an accident.
While the main accused who carried out the accident, Vikram Ahirwar, and two associates have been arrested and presented in court, the husband Prayas Pandey and his assistant Manas Singh Lodhi have been absconding since the incident.
