As per cops, Bhargavi was in love with Shashi, her neighbour from the same community. However, the mother and other family members wanted her to get married to a relative, but Bhargavi opposed it saying that she wanted to marry Shashi. 

On Monday, when Shashi came to visit Bhargavi at her house in the absence of all, Bhargavi’s mother came home and saw them talking to each other. A quarrel broke out between the mother-daughter, after which the mother allegedly strangulated the daughter and reportedly attempted to portray it as a suicide.
