They came to Ajmer where Jyoti asked Rajan to leave his first wife. This led to frequent quarrels between the couple. Rajan was disturbed due to these fights and later he conspired with Shalu to kill Jyoti as she started was threatening him continuously then she would tell the police about his crimes.
On May 16 they rented a room in Ratidang area of Ajmer and contacted the house owner over the phone. He told them to take the key from the neighbours.
