During interrogation, Vijayalaxmi confessed to committing the crime with the help of Mahesh by hiring Sushil and Krishna, employees of a fuel station, as Gajender was preventing her from continuing her illicit relationship with Mahesh. She admitted to a deal for Rs 3 lakh to Sushil and Krishna for killing her husband. Stating that she was having an affair with Mahesh since 2015, she said her parents had performed her wedding with Gajender in 2017 after which the couple had a son. Vijayalaxmi was however still in touch with Mahesh and had tendered an apology when Gajender brought the issue to the notice of elders in their community.
