On May 29, 2018, Pooja and Ajay killed her husband Vinod Kumar (25) and his father Siyaram (65) at their home in Faridabad. Vinod was a resident of Noorpur village in Bareilly district and moved to Faridabad with his wife Pooja to live with his father.
Vinod's brother Vishnu filed a police complaint on May 30, 2018 after receiving news about the deaths.
Upon arriving in Faridabad, Vishnu discovered the bodies of his brother and father in their room, leading him to suspect Pooja's involvement in the murders.

"The police investigation revealed that on the night of May 29 in 2018, Pooja with her lover Ajay killed her husband Vinod and father-in-law Siyaram by hitting them on their heads with a pan, iron rod and stick. Both were arrested and sent to judicial custody.
