It is not known how Yogesh tried to kill himself. According to the police, Yogesh confessed he had stabbed Malvi for rejecting his marriage proposal. After attacking her in Versova, he fled in his car and tried to end his life. 

Malvi had told the police that Yogesh sent her a friend request on Facebook in 2019. In January this year, Yogesh asked her to do a video album. Malvi met the producer twice at a coffee shop. A few days later, Yogesh proposed to the actress, after which Malvi blocked him from every possible platform.
