According to a senior police official, the prime accused Gehlot was interrogated at length during police custody and disclosed that Yadav was dissuading him from marrying someone else as they had already solemnized their marriage in 2020.
"She was pleading with him not to go ahead with the marriage fixed by his family with another girl on February 10. However, Sahil along with his father, two cousins, and two friends hatched the conspiracy and planned to remove the deceased from their way," said the official.
"Sahil executed the plan and murdered her and informed the other co-accused persons about it on the same day and then all of them went ahead with the marriage ceremony," said the official.
"All the five co-accused were thoroughly interrogated and arrested after verifying and ascertaining their role," the official added.
According to the official, on the night of February 9, Gehlot, a resident of Mitraon village, went to meet the woman at her Uttam Nagar residence where she lived with her younger sister.
"Sahil stayed there for two-three hours and later both of them went to Nizammudin railway station. But as they could not get tickets to Goa, they decided to go to Himachal Pradesh instead and reached ISBT, Kashmere Gate," said the official.
