"On April 12, Gaurav called Shraddha on her cell phone saying that he had met with an accident," he said.

Once Sharddha reached home, Gaurav asked her to come out with him as he wanted to talk.

"When they reached near Shaniwarwada, Gaurav asked Shraddha to wait. He went to the market and purchased a bottle of poison. The duo then entered Shaniwarwada," Jadhav said.

Inside Shaniwarwada, Gaurav mixed the poison with some water and forced Shraddha to drink it. He also consumed it. The couple went back home where Shraddha started vomiting.
