On September 6, Yuvraj visited the Lajpat Nagar market in Delhi with his sisters to buy a sherwani, a long, button-down outer coat suit. The family later stopped for food at the Golden Dragon restaurant in the area at around 4:15 pm.

After spending some time at the restaurant, Yuvraj told his sisters that he had to meet his former colleague in Gurugram and left. His siblings returned home in a cab.

According to Yuvraj's family, they spoke to him on the phone at around 7 pm. He told them that he would return home by 10 pm. When he did not come back, his family tried to contact him, but his phone was unreachable.

Two days later, on September 8 at around 4:16 pm, the family received the last WhatsApp message from Yuvraj. His phone then went off again.

On September 11, Yuvraj's family filed a missing person report at the Lajpat Nagar police station.

The family later alleged that Gurugram police had found Yuvraj's body on September 10 but did not inform them. They also alleged that details for identification were not uploaded on the Zonal Integrated Police Network, or ZIPNET, a government portal used to check unidentified bodies, in time.

The body was eventually cremated by police on September 14, two days before Yuvraj's family was informed about his death.

According to law, if a dead body cannot be identified despite mandatory publication in missing persons networks after a designated waiting period, officials can cremate the body.

Yuvraj's family has demanded that the post-mortem report, inquiry papers, photographs, DNA samples and his belongings be preserved and made available to them.

Yuvraj was the sole breadwinner of his family. His father is paralysed, while his mother suffers from a heart disease.

The investigation later established that Yuvraj's last phone call was with a woman named Vats, his former colleague whom he had gone to meet in Gurugram. Her phone was switched off, prompting police to analyse CCTV footage and technical data and conduct enquiries at the offices of Yuvraj and the suspect.

Vats subsequently emerged as a prime suspect in the case.

Police then detected a new mobile number being used by her and arrested her from Uttarakhand. Another suspect, identified as Vats' partner, was also arrested.

During interrogation, the two accused allegedly disclosed that they had murdered Yuvraj and disposed of his body in a drain near their house in Gurugram.

A financial dispute is suspected to be the motive behind the murder. However, Yuvraj's family alleged that the accused woman is withholding the true reason for the murder.

Police are interrogating both accused to determine the motive behind the crime and establish how the murder was committed. Both accused have been sent to five-day police custody.

The investigation is continuing as police examine the circumstances surrounding Yuvraj's disappearance, alleged murder and the subsequent disposal and identification of his body.
