About 15 days after the incident, Manvendra's wife went to her maternal home. On September 3, 2022, Manu, Subedar Singh's grandson, took out Manvendra's phone from the box and came across some suspicious call recordings, which shocked the family. In the call recordings, Manvendra's wife was telling someone that she had electrocuted him for 10 minutes “as per your instructions” asking the male caller on the other side whether Manvendra was sure to die from the electricity.
The caller on the other side told her that the electricity would kill him for sure. The relatives reached the police with the audio clip after which the police launched an investigation. In the meantime, Manvendra's wife had eloped with her paramour Atendra. The police laid a trap and arrested the two. Manvendra's wife told police during the interrogation that she first made her husband unconscious by feeding him intoxicants and then killed him by electrocuting him in a state of unconsciousness.
