The area is affected by the problem of drug addicts and traffickers, the people say.
Yatin Raj is said to be a member of the ganja gang. The family has named him as the one who directly participated in this murder. He was close to Preksha and opposed her participation in modelling assignments, he bought pressure on Preksha not to go to Bengaluru for the photoshoot.
Preksha was a brilliant student who participated in study and extracurricular activities with zeal. Singing, dancing, and modelling were her hobbies, and she participated in several photoshoots. On Wednesday she was to leave for Bengaluru for a photoshoot. But she was found hanging at her home. There is suspicion that her interest in modelling caused her death.
It is said that Yatin Raj, who is one of the three arrested persons, was in love with Preksha. It is being claimed that his love was one-sided. Yatin disliked Preksha’s love for modelling and had fought with her, it is said. He had objected to her intention to go to Bengaluru for the photoshoot. In spite of his objections, Preksha had prepared to leave for Bengaluru and therefore had not attended the college. She had visited a beauty parlour and then returned home.
The locals as well as the family members of Preksha firmly believe that this was a well-planned murder.
