The police officer later revealed that the motive behind the murder is love angle and denial. The girl is 22 years old and the boy is 28 years old, and they are maternal cousins. Irfan wanted to marry Nargis, but she and her family refused the proposal because he does not have a proper employment. The girl completed graduation with Hindi honours and was doing Steno coaching at present. Her family said that she is well educated and she will get a good match, and they are not going to marry her to an unemployed boy. Subsequently, the girl also stopped talking to him.
