The accused had repeatedly threatened Thakur and her previous fiancés, causing disruptions in her engagements. In 2019, Patel's threats led to the dissolution of Thakur's first engagement. A similar situation emerged in 2024 with her second engagement.
The woman was engaged to a man from Vadodara in 2019 but Patel repeatedly threatened her fiance and even attacked him, leading to the cancellation of the engagement, the SP said. Delhi Shocker: IP University’s MBA Student Allegedly Dies by Suicide After Jumping From Hostel Building in Dwarka.
