According to the Superintendent of Police in Kasganj, what began as a minor argument over the meal escalated violently when Ramu started beating his wife. After the assault, Brajbala was treated in hospital for four hours before passing away.

The deceased had been married to Ramsaran, alias Ramu, a resident of Nagla Dhak, for seven years. The couple had a three-year-old son. Brajmala's cousin, Rakesh, informed police that Ramu, who owns two bighas of farmland, had a history of assaulting his wife over trivial matters.

Rakesh stated that on Wednesday afternoon, Brajmala had prepared potato curry for her husband. When Ramu complained about insufficient salt in the food and his mother, Meera Devi, expressed disapproval, he became enraged. Ramu threw the food plate, then attacked his wife, kicking and punching her before pushing her off the roof.

Brajbala fell headfirst and lost consciousness. Neighbours rushed to the scene while Ramu fled. Meera Devi took her daughter-in-law to Kasganj District Hospital, where doctors, deeming her condition critical, referred her to Aligarh. After four hours of treatment, Brajbala died that night.

Villagers later found Ramu hiding in an empty house near the village. They apprehended him and handed him over to police early on Thursday morning.

Additional Superintendent of Police Rajesh Bharti confirmed that an FIR has been registered and the postmortem was conducted on Thursday. The accused remains in custody.
