However, according to police officials the deceased didn’t go anywhere without informing her driver and her brothers.
Uma, who says she dropped Sandhya at the bank that morning, asserted that the victim had mentioned to her that a two-wheeler was following them the whole way, and it then vanished.
According to the Crime Branch, undisclosed sources revealed that they had seen Raghuveer on the bike along with his girlfriend Shreya.
