Twenty-three-year-old model Lakshya Lathar, arrested for the murder of his fashion designer mother Sunita, has told police that she would get bad dreams after the sudden demise of his father few years ago. Due to this, she had taken the help of a spiritual baba.

"The baba had suggested Sunita chant 'Om' in the night to stave off bad dreams," said the source at police station. Sunita would often chant 'Om' aloud whenever she got time at home. "Her [Sunita's] loud chanting would disturb Lakshya and his live-in partner Aaeshpriya Banerjee's sleep. Disturbed, he would often pick up a fight with her and the duo would indulge in heated arguments," the source added. The police are looking for the baba and may record his statement at a later stage.
