Sushant is a rowdy-sheeter

Sushant used to participate in small level fights and was a friend of Japan Manga alias Rajesh’s friend. He was the bike-boy who chauffeured for Rajesh during the stabbing and fighting that broke out at the court premises against Subhash Padil and his gang, who was accused of carrying out the 2016 home stay attack. Post the incident he was arrested and incarcerated. On this occasion, rowdy-sheet was opened against Sushanth on this occasion.

Doctors of various divisions strived continuously to normalize Deeksha’s condition after being admitted in a seriously injured state. Nitte college students, Deeksha’s relatives and locals provided blood to her. The necessary operations have been conducted and she is currently undergoing treatment in the ICU.

Friendship at dance classes

Sushanth used to go to colleges to teach break dance and had choreographed Deeksha’s dance. it is said that this led to the friendship between them.

After she left to Karkala for her PG education, for some reason their relationship soured. A few months back, Sushanth went to Karkala in a friend’s car to visit her and kept forcing her to sit in the car and hence a case in this connection was registered at Karkala Women’s police station. The cops brought his to the station and made him sign a written statement in the presence of his parents. It is assumed that this was the very reason he had planned to murder Deeksha.

Clue in WhatsApp

Before arriving to the location to commit the murder, Sushanth had changed his WhatsApp status giving clue to his action. In the afternoon around 12:09 pm, he had changed his status to “Love you Deechu… Miss you Baba.. Love you lot” and added a photo in which both of them were together. Later, he smoked some weed and then waited for her arrival at the bus stop in Deralakatte. Not knowing his being there, Deeksha alighted from the bus and was on her way home when he carried out his attack.
