The 22-year-old MBBS student of JJ Medical College, who was allegedly killed at Bandstand by accused Mithu Singh, had met him twice in October 2021, a month before the alleged incident at his hotel Meeth’s Kitchen at Bandstand. She had casually chatted with him while having food there.

The Crime Branch now suspects that on November 29, 2021, when she was meeting him for the third time, she trusted him and was comfortable talking to him till late at night. But Singh tried to take advantage of the situation, which led to the scuffle between them. The sexual assault is the only prima facie reason that she was killed.
