The woman was a local financier and she loaned money to the accused, according to the Police. Three of them murdered her as she was asking for returning previous loans. The fourth accused, who works as a caretaker of a graveyard in Nangloi, took ₹5,000 to bury the body.

According to Singh, the main accused killed the woman by suffocating her with a pillow in the pretext of not being able to pay back the loan that they owed.
