The victims were attacked with sharp-edged weapons at Sarita’s house, and their bodies were found naked.
Sarita had introduced Mamta to the hotelier, leading to an illicit relationship.
When Nitin learned of the affair, a quarrel ensued, and Mamta, with her husband, allegedly killed Sarita first and later attacked Ravi. The police recovered a sword and knife used in the killings, and a detailed investigation is underway.
