Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone II) Shakti Mohan Awasthi said Rakhi was admitted to a hospital in Ghaziabad in critical condition, where she died late at night.

"The investigation revealed that Rakhi and Virendra's families knew each other and used to live together in Meerut earlier. Virendra's marriage with Rakhi was fixed but the girl's side had a condition that the marriage would take place only after the boy gets a government job," the DCP said.

Since Virendra was not getting a government job, he went to Rakhi's house to convince her but her mother refused to marry her daughter to him.

"Enraged by this, Virendra attacked Rakhi with a knife," Awasthi said.
