For this, they chose the house of her sister Vidya alias Tanu. The SP told that an SIT was formed to solve this crime. The police took out CCTV footage and showed it to the family members.

Financial crisis and old enmity led to murder
SP said that during interrogation, Sneha and Arif told the whole story behind this murder. They told that to live a better lifestyle in Ranchi, they did many jobs in the last several years. They opened a clothes shop, hotel, restaurant and even a salon but none of the work was successful. Due to this, they got into a huge debt and both of them started struggling with financial crisis.
According to the SP, when Sneha legally married Arif Nayyar in the year 2022, her father and other family members also distanced themselves from her. When the demands of the creditors started increasing, Sneha and Arif prepared a plan to get a huge amount at any cost. Sneha told her husband that her sister Tanu was married in Ramgarh itself. Recently, they have built a house in the city at the cost of crores of rupees. She hoped that there would be lakhs of rupees in cash and jewellery at Asharfi Prasad's house. If they succeed in robbing him, all their troubles will be over.
