Prem told the police that he is a property dealer and met Praihar about four years ago as his friend was staying near his (Parihar) house.
Prem then started visiting Rajesh’s home and soon developed an affair with his wife. Rajesh was debt- ridden and wanted to sell his house to repay his debt but his wife was against it. Rajesh’s wife told accused Prem that their house was on bank loan and Rajesh’s loan was insured. The loan could only be waived after the accidental death of Rajesh! Since then, Prem was planning to eliminate Rajesh and marrying his wife. Later, he told his brothers to kill Rajesh for his house. They were also lured for a share in the house.

They poured petrol on his body and car and set it on fire. They pushed the car into the gorge and fled Dewas on the bike. After arresting the accused, police recovered a pistol used in the crime.
