Meenakshi left the decision of marrying Pawan to her father, who wanted to talk to his family first due to inter-caste differences, prompting Meenakshi to distance herself and stop talking to Pawan. Following an argument, Pawan allegedly struck her on the head with a hammer and then died by suicide.
Meenakshi and Pawan had known each other for around seven to eight years, having originally met in Indore when Meenakshi was unmarried and preparing for competitive exams.
Kritika was visiting Pawan's house in Bhopal with her three-year-old daughter and Meenakshi to collect Meenakshi's belongings. She slept in the inner room with the child and, due to two coolers running, did not hear anything until she woke up in the morning and discovered Meenakshi's blood-stained body.
