The victims, Mithun Kushwaha and Kamini Sahu, had been in a relationship disapproved by Sahu's family, leading to a panchayat ruling that Kushwaha should leave the village until Sahu's marriage. Despite this, he visited her on New Year's Eve to celebrate her birthday but was caught by her family, who restrained him, forced him to drink poison, and then strangled him. When Sahu protested, her family did the same to her. In an attempt to mislead authorities, they hung Kushwaha's body from a tree and hid Sahu's behind their house. Initial police investigations suggested suicide, but autopsy results confirmed strangulation. Three family members have been arrested, including Sahu's father, mother, and uncle.
