According to Sukanth, she was experiencing intense emotional distress, primarily due to the relentless pressure from her parents, who were forcing her to consider an alternative marriage proposal against her will.

The petitioner strongly believes that if her death was indeed a suicide, it was not a voluntary act but rather a consequence of the severe mental agony and unbearable pressure inflicted upon her by her parents’ coercion and opposition to her chosen relationship.

Sukanth added that he has never, at any point, misbehaved toward the deceased in any manner. From the very beginning, he accepted her as his future wife, embracing their bond with genuine affection and unwavering support. He stood by her through challenging times, respecting her choices and prioritising her well-being at all times, he submitted.

Advocate CP Udayabhanu, counsel for Sukanth, stated that he is the colleague of the deceased and is currently serving at the Nedumbassery office. He has not been named as an accused in the case. He filed the anticipatory bail plea apprehending arrest in the case.
