According to a TOI report, Saloni’s brother Ajit Singh filed a complaint with Jaspur Police accusing Shubham of killing his sister to claim insurance money. He further alleged that Shubham abused Saloni mentally and Physically and due to the increasing abuse his sister had sought a divorce due to Shubham’s extramarital affair four years ago.

A murder case has been filed against Shubham Chaudhary, his parents and one other person under BNS Section 103(1) over Saloni Chaudhary’s death. The case was initially registered as a suspicious death however it has now been upgraded to a murder investigation after Ajit’s complaint. Saloni’s viscera have been sent for further examination to gather evidence against Shubham.
