According to police, last Thursday relatives of Mala had come to visit her at her rented house. The victim, who was newly-married showed them a jewellery and expensive clothes, which caught the attention of her neighbour Ritu too.

After which she went to her husband and told him about it. Next day Ritu went to Mala and invited her on some pretext, when her husband, Shivam, had gone out for duty, Mr Sharma said.
