Recently, she and her children had been living at a rented house in Kolathur, while her husband remained in Gummidipoondi. She left her children with her husband and returned to her house in Kolathur on July 18. Following this, Ganeshamurthi could not get in touch with her and asked his friends to check on her. Meanwhile, Saraswathi's neighbours alerted the police after they noticed a stench from her house. The police broke open the door and recovered the body. It was sent to the Government Stanley Hospital for a post-mortem. A mobile phone, a two-wheeler, and a gold ornament were missing from the house, indicating that it was a murder for gain.

The investigation revealed that Moshin was in a relationship with Saraswathi. Angered after learning that she was married to another man, he murdered her.
