When both of them returned from America in 2008, their relatives searched for a new way to reconcile and advised them to settle in Dehradun.
In July 2009, he came to Dehradun and rented Ved Prakash Mittal's house in Prakash Nagar. The children were admitted to DPS school, but the discord between the couple did not end. The matter reached the office of the Domestic Violence Protection Officer and Rajesh was reprimanded. In September 2010, it was decided that Rajesh would give Rs 20 thousand to Anupama every month for her expenses. Rajesh did this for one month, but in the next month it escalated. When there was a fight on October 17, 2010, the reason remained the same. And Rajesh brutally kills Anupama. Made the children sleep in another room. When the children woke up in the morning, they said that mom had gone to Nana's house.
If the children asked about their mother, they would show a fake e-mail on the laptop. If asked to dial the phone, he would have avoided it. How did the children know that mom was locked in the freezer at home? Rajesh had locked the freezer. On the pretext of taking the children on a holiday to Mussoorie, he was disposing of the body parts.

When Madhav reached here on 12th December, Rajesh opened the door.
He introduced himself as a passport agent and asked about Anupama. Rajesh said that Anupama has gone to Delhi. When in doubt, Siddhant reached Doon. After disposing of the body parts, Rajesh was planning to flee abroad with the children. Due to constant pressure from his in-laws to talk to Anupama, Rajesh understood that it was not possible to survive much longer. So he started packing the things. He was still packing on the day it was revealed.
