"The girl remained adamant on her relationship with the accused, therefore, the couple left her with her biological parents in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh. After knowing that, Suraj's parents approached the girl's parents in Moradabad with a marriage proposal, but Singh strongly opposed their proposal, which agitated Suraj," a police officer said.

However, before the accused could manage to flee, the police arrested him. During interrogation, he confessed that he made a plan to kill the girl's father for refusing the marriage proposal and started following Singh and his wife from November 28 onwards.
