On being grilled by Subramanyam’s wife and family members as to what exactly happened and due to their refusal to take possession of the body, Mr. Bhaskar left it in his vehicle and went away.
As circumstantial evidence pointed to Mr. Bhaskar’s personal involvement in the murder, he was arrested on May 23. The case was initially registered as suspicious death amidst high drama but charges were later framed under Section.302 of IPC. Mr. Bhaskar is currently on remand for 14 days.
