Upon interrogation, Surya admitted to being in a relationship with Jhansi and said that he had promised her that he would speak to his mother about their marriage plans, once his sister gets weds.

Surya had even introduced Naga Jhansi to her mother as his friend.

On the other hand, Jhansi’s mother has claimed that gold worth Rs 10 lakh, which belongs to Jhansi, is with Surya. 

However, during the interrogation, Surya said he mortgaged the gold only on the request of Jhansi’s family, as they wanted to buy some property, said the report.

Based on the statements, the police has booked Surya under sections 306 (abetment to commit suicide) and 417 (cheating) of the Indian Penal Code. He was recently produced before the court and has been sent to remand.
