The sensational murder of Kamalakar Bhat Guruji is about to turn grim after the authorities take up their investigation into the life of the prime suspect, Suchitra. New evidence shows it’s more than just two people fighting, and Suchitra had contact with several other young people, according to digital evidence.
Suchitra’s police have also been pursuing her via her mobile, and in fact their account of her social media contacts reveals that there may be a web of relationships that connected them to what happened, despite their investigation in question.
The Digital Trail and the New Circle of Suspicion
Preliminary stories have revolved around the connection between Suchitra and the deceased priest Kamalakar Bhat. But a technical examination of her call logs and messaging apps has reported regular exchanges with several young men from Siddapur and the surrounding taluks.
Financial Transactions: Police are probing how any of these contacts might have connected to money dealings with Suchitra. The “Influence” Angle investigators are examining whether Suchitra may have leveraged her links with the Guruji to establish connections with those youths or if such youths knew of the friction between the accused and the victim.
Possible Accomplices: These youths may have been involved with Suchitra at the time leading up to, or following, the crime, but the police have not ruled out the allegation of helping out at a distance or in helping some other way. Motive Under the Scanner.
The murder which took place within a sleepy town of Siddapur was initially believed to have been motivated by a single motive: either money blackmail or revenge. Her wider and more active social group, though, has made the police wonder if the motive was more complicated. “We track every lead we can,” said a senior investigating officer.
“The accused wasn’t just in contact with the victim. Her engagement with numerous other youths is being confirmed to determine if there was a pattern of exploitation or whether any of it contributed to the conspiracy.
Community in Shock
The revelation that many local youth are under a police scanner has sent shockwaves through the community. Family members in the area are said to be panicked as police continue to call people for questioning based on the call records discovered on Suchitra’s phone.
Kamalakar Bhat Guruji, a prominent figure in the community of devout believers, was later found slain in a vicious manner. The recovery of the weapon and other forensic evidence has further strengthened the case against Suchitra. The current phase of the investigation aims to ensure that no “silent partners” in the crime go unpunished.
