The incident came to light after neighbours informed the police after noticing a foul smell. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Jayanthi was married to a man named Ajit Saha, who worked with Sandeep in a factory at Ambernath MIDC. The couple had a 10-year-old daughter.

The two men were friends and Sandeep used to visit the couple's flat in Ambernath. Sandeep and Jayanthi later developed an intimate relationship, which Ajit opposed, a police officer said. On Wednesday Ajit lodged a complaint at Shivaji Nagar police station in Ambernath stating that his wife Jayanthi had gone missing
