According to sources, Nataraj and Jayalakshmi were having an affair while Nataraj was still married. He had, however, divorced his wife a year ago to marry her.

When Natraj found out about their relationship, he decided to kill her.
Nataraj arrived at the office on Monday at around 11.20 AM and was able to sneak into premises with a machete concealed in a newspaper due to lapses in security. He then barged into the secretary’s locked chamber and assaulted Jayalakshmi, the sources informed.
