The Minister told the family members of the Intermediate girl that the case is being dealt by the Disha police and justice would soon be meted out to them. In order to root out such atrocities from happening in future, Sucharita also underlined the need to create awareness on gender sensitivity at school and college levels. She said steps would be taken to speed up the process of investigation.

In connection with the murder case, the police had taken Akhil Sai and another friend of Varalakshmi Ramu into custody.
The police suspect a love triangle to be the reason behind the murder. Investigation is in progress.
