Both were arrested soon after the crime came to light.
Investigations revealed that Preeti and Abhay had been involved in a love affair for the past two years. Desiring to live together, they saw Ompal as an obstacle. Consequently, they conspired to kill him. On Monday night, Preeti and Abhay executed their plan, strangling Ompal with a dupatta.
