The family of Yuvraj Singh Manchanda filed a missing-person report after he failed to return home from a scheduled meeting in Gurgaon on September 6. Police traced his last communications to former colleague Anya Vats, who had been dismissed from a real-estate firm amid alleged financial irregularities. Together with her partner Sanyam Sachdeva, both unemployed, Vats is accused of murdering Manchanda, allegedly over a monetary dispute.

According to investigators, the suspects stored the victim's body in his car for at least seven hours before dumping it in a sewer near their residence. After the disposal, they traveled to Uttarakhand, where authorities located and arrested them. The body, found decomposed in a Gurgaon drain on September 10, was identified by the family as Manchanda. Both suspects have been placed in police custody for five days while the investigation continues.
