Deeksha, a student in Nitte, had befriended one Sushanth from Shaktinagar when she had enrolled in Aryan Dance Academy. Sushanth, however, began harassing Deeksha after she refused to marry him. He continued to harass Deeksha even after her parents warned him to stay away from her.

On June 29, Sushanth stabbed Deeksha multiple times before slitting his throat to end his life.
