The man killed her by strangling her with her 'dupatta'.
According to reports, the man was also pressured to return a loan he had taken from the woman.
As per the police, the man alleged that the woman, who was a mother of four children, also allegedly used an Instagram filter to make her look younger, which irked him, too.
