According to a statement by the couple's 17-year-old male help, the first threat was made in a telephone call to Dhananjay on November 1.

The second was delivered to Bhadra's face on November 3 after the maid failed to clean a store room in the couple's South Avenue flat as per a two-hour deadline set by the dental surgeon. The maid died of her injuries on November 4.
