The accused had later sent an SMS to his wife Sundari, an SBI employee saying, “No one should search for me Bhuvan, Kritika, Savitha and Saraswathi who are in heaven. I wanted to take you too. But I could not. You find a well with water and jump into it.”
He had then sent another message saying “No one should find our bodies. We do not have a land of our own for cremation and none to perform Uttarakriya.”
