Sheetal was in Ahar village in Panipat on Saturday night for an album shoot. Around 10:30 pm, Sunil arrived and picked her up in his car. After a few drinks, an argument broke out between the two.

Around 1:30 am, Sheetal made a frantic video call to her sister, claiming Sunil was beating her. Her phone went unreachable soon after. She was not heard from again.
