Police officials say that Mahesh was in love with one of the girls. He had repeatedly tried to impose himself on her. However the girl never showed any interest and neither did she reciprocate.

Investigations show that he had repeatedly pestered her since the past couple of months. Angered by her attitude, he decide to kill her.
