Neethirajan had been working as a 108 ambulance driver in Chennai for the past two years. Priyanka had allegedly borrowed a loan of Rs50,000 from a private firm in her native village of Keelasemanur without informing her husband’s family, according to police.

Police said Priyanka had married Neethirajan, a native of Chinna Nagachi, six years ago. An argument is said to have broken out in the family over the concealed debt. The couple had a two-year-old daughter. He was visiting his native village once every three months. She had reportedly been repaying the loan through weekly instalments.
