Sathish, it is gathered, had fallen in love with Roopa and married her nine years ago. The couple has two children.

As Roopa had illicit relationship with a man, Sathish often fought with her on this issue. There were occasions in which the case even went before the police. The relatives however had intervened and advised the couple to patch up and live harmoniously. It is said that Roopa continued with her extramarital relationship. When Sathish returned home after business hours on Sunday night, he found his wife in the company of a man.
