According to the report, Nitesh Yadav was angry with Aayushi as she had married one Chhatrapal against his wishes and he was from a different caste and also she would often come home late in the night. Nitesh used his licensed gun for killing Aayushi and later wrapped the body of his daughter in a large suitcase and dumped it in a secluded area near the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura on November 18.
