Amritalingam of Dindugal married Chitra. He lived in a rented house in Salem, Tiruppur. Amritalingam worked as a day labourer in the Tennampalayam vegetable market. At the same time, his wife Chitra worked in a clothing factory. The wife enjoyed creating reels for Instagram and Tik Tok. She used to spend most of her time creating a reel and posting it online. This irritated Amritalingam. There were many fights between the two over it.

Chitra had a large number of Instagram followers. Chitra decided to pursue a career in acting after receiving positive feedback on the video. She had gone to Chennai two months before.

Amritalingam fled the house after fainting. He confessed to his daughter that he murdered Chitra. Chitra was found dead when his daughter went to see him. He informed the cops.
