Why did the stabbing happen? Was it rage stemming from rejection?

This unfortunate incident happened when the girl's family did not approve of their relationship and resultantly, she started distancing herself from her lover. Sukhwinder did not take this rejection. And on January 2, he asked the girl to come and meet him since he wanted to know the reason for the break-up. This is when the boy attacked her.
