The murder took place in Hapur's Asora village, where the girl Priyanka was on a visit to relatives for the last two days. Priyanka's brother, Sonu, and another man arrived at the village and, stopping only to fire three shots into Priyanka, they rode away.

According to Hapur police sources, Sonu, resident of Hapur, had been, for sometime, seething about Priyanka going to Dehradun to live with a man without actually being married to him.
