The torture
Fed up with the increasing mental and physical torture she was subjected to by Aditya, Reshma decided to end her relationship. She called up Aditya and broke up with him. Enraged by Reshma's decision, Aditya once again assaulted her at a park in Tardeo and threatened her of dire consequences if she even thought of breaking up with him.
After the incident Reshma was quite jittery and worried. Her sister Shweta decided to take Reshma out for a movie to calm her down.
"On the day of her death, Reshma had gone out in the morning and was back home by 6 pm. She was back to her jovial self. But around 7.30 pm, Aditya came home and started arguing with her. He then forcibly took her away on his motorcycle," stated an aggrieved Shweta.

Around 8 pm, Aditya called and informed Shweta that their bike had been knocked down by a speeding tempo.
He further stated that Reshma had sustained grievous injuries and had been rushed to GT Hospital. "He called again at 8.30 pm, and this time said that my sister committed suicide by jumping off the FOB. How can the situation change suddenly in 30 minutes? I'm not ready to believe that Reshma ended her life. I feel that Aditya must have pushed her off the bridge," accused Shweta.
