According to Khurana's family, he was in the midst of a contentious divorce with his wife, with a major point of contention revolving around the ownership of the caf¨¦.
Reports suggest that Khurana and Pahwa had a phone conversation just before his death, where they discussed the future of their bakery. During the conversation, Pahwa allegedly told her husband that he could not remove her from the business partnership, even though they were in the middle of divorce proceedings.
Khurrana's family claims that shortly after this heated conversation, he took his own life.
The police have recovered a 16-minute recording of the exchange between the couple, which is now part of the investigation.
