Preliminary interrogation has revealed that Gahlot was getting married on February 10 and the woman was objecting to it as they were in a relationship for a long time, Singh said.
"The woman was a resident of Jhajjar in Haryana. It has been claimed that she was threatening to implicate the man in a case if he married another woman," a source said.
