Suresh was reportedly annoyed with Sohan Lal for having married his sister against the wishes of his family as they belonged to different castes.
After the FIR, five police teams were on the lookout to trace Suresh, who was constantly changing his hideout ever since he fled on a bike after committing the crime on Friday last.
