When the police found that Dr Revanth killed the woman, they were out to arrest him. On Saturday, Dr Revanth learned of the police being hot on his trail and jumped in front of a train to kill himself. Before committing suicide, Dr Revanth called Harshita, who also killed herself a few hours later. The police were probing Harshita’s suicide when they recovered the jewellery from her house on Tuesday and found this angle of Kavitha’s murder.
An officer said that Dr Revanth wanted Kavitha’s murder scene to look like a murder for gain for the police to deviate from the investigation. Now the police suspects that Harshita knew Dr Revanth’s wife’s murder and his plan to kill himself.
