Originally from Bihar, they got married in 2011. In 2016, Ronitraj started working as a fitter in the machine tool prototype factory in Ambernath. The couple used to live in staff quarters in the Ordnance Estate.

Later in the evening he called his neighbors and told them that someone had killed his wife and pretended that he knew nothing. As soon as the police team received information about the incident, they rushed to the spot and started an investigation."
