The police revealed that they went to the house in the neighboring area where Ashish used to reside with his parents and confirmed that he had committed suicide using the same country-made pistol. It was discovered that Renu, aged 42, and Ashish had known each other from a gym they used to attend a couple of years ago.

The police have constituted multiple teams to apprehend the suspect. The authorities are also examining the CCTV footage from the area as part of the ongoing investigation," stated the DCP.
