As per reports, investigators have revealed that the killers, Vishal and Raj, entered the victim’s residence using duplicate keys that were allegedly given to Vishal by Shalu. The Times of India reported that Vishal used to work at the pharmaceutical store, and Shalu had given him the key to make a duplicate copy. As per their original plan, they were supposed to suffocate the victim to death, but in a panic, they attacked Vineet and stabbed him multiple times.

The investigation revealed that Shalu Minocha was distressed over her father-in-law constantly monitoring the CCTV cameras installed in their living room. She was taken into custody, where she reportedly shared that her father-in-law objected to her attending late-night parties. She further stated that, even though they belonged to a well-off family, she had to persistently ask her father-in-law for even minor expenses.
The police shared that Shalu had paid Vishal Rs 2 lakh on September 6, 2026, and the remaining amount was promised after 15 days. The latest video of Shalu Minocha dancing has become a crucial part of the murder investigation. The police have been checking the timeline of the lounge video.
