Elaborating further, DCP East Ranjita Sharma said Neeraj's husband passed away about a year ago, following which she was granted a compassionate appointment and joined as an LDC.

According to police, Ayushi wanted the government job following her father’s death, but Nereraj took up the appointment. This, along with the property dispute, led Ayushi to conspire with her uncle Mohan Swaroop and cousin Balram alias Ravi to eliminate her mother.

Movement tracked

Police said on the day of the murder (July 3), the accused closely tracked the victim’s movement. While one of them, Mohit Sharma, relayed her location, another, Rohit Jatav, was stationed nearby on a motorcycle.

Ayushi reportedly told the police during interrogation that she wanted the government job after her father’s death, but her mother took it instead. So she conspired to kill her to get the job and the family property.
