Sharing the earlier scene where the MBBS medico was suspected of stealing the money from his roommate, the family of the deceased student informed Dainik Bhaskar that the accused had blamed the deceased MBBS student of stealing his 80 thousand rupees. He pressured him to pay the money back. In addition, to diminish his image, he also shared the message at the Whatsapp to his colleagues that MBBS medico had stolen his money. The deceased MBBS student's father added the accused had also talked to Hemant's mother, about the money.

As soon as the news of his death reached the family members, they demanded the concerned authorities to take action on the matter.
