The police zeroed in on Pinki and her paramour Asif, and arrested them within hours of recovering the body.During interrogation, Asif confessed that he had befriended Pinki through a common friend around four months ago. He started frequenting Pinki’s house, and soon the became closer to each other.
Fearing exposure of their relationship, the duo hatched a plan to eliminate Sonu. Pretending to be a property dealer, Asif called Sonu for a hangout on Tuesday night. The two were boozing in the SUV that actually belonged to a man for whom Asif worked as a driver. Asif secretly mixed sedatives in Sonu’s drink, and after a while, Sonu went unconscious.
