But just a day before he was to leave back for US, he was found dead under mysterious circumstances.

Police investigations have not revealed anything about Sachin’s death so far, except for an unknown car that had supposedly followed Sachin just before his death. As the family did not want to pursue the case, his death continues to remain a mystery.

The reason behind Sushma’s suicide too is unknown. Ever since Sachin’s death, she had been staying with her parents in Postadka in Kumble.

Kumble police have registered a case.
