Police said that they would meet before and after classes every day. Though the two didn’t clear competitive exams, they started living together in Greater Noida.
“Gehlot and Yadav had taken admission in Galgotia College. While he was studying pharmacy, she was pursuing bachelor’s in English. They often took short trips around Manali, Rishikesh, Haridwar and Dehradun,” said Special CP (Crime) Ravindra Yadav.
During the lockdown, the two were called back to their homes.
They met again after the lockdown and shifted to a rented house in Delhi’s Dwarka.
According to police, while Yadav told a few of her relatives about the relationship, Gehlot was more secretive.

Their families didn’t know about the live-in relationship, police added.
“Gehlot never informed his family about the relationship. Last year, they started asking him about his marriage plans. We suspect he might have told them about Yadav but they didn’t agree,” said an officer.
He gave in to their demands and the family found a bride for him in December 2022. The marriage was fixed but Gehlot didn’t break up with Yadav, said an officer, adding that following a fight over his lying, he allegedly decided to kill her and dumped her body.
According to police, the accused killed her late night on February 9, before stuffing her body inside a fridge owner by his family in Dwarka.
The accused’s father works at a gas company.
The woman is survived by her parents and a brother and a sister. Her father runs a garage in Gurgaon.
