Sharon Raj, a final-year BSc Radiology student, met Greeshma, a literature student, during their time at a private college in Kanyakumari. The two reportedly maintained a romantic relationship for over a year before tensions arose.
The prosecution alleged that Greeshma, wanting to end the relationship after her family arranged her marriage to another man, conspired with her mother and uncle to kill Sharon.
On October 14, 2022, Sharon visited Greeshma at her residence in Kanyakumari, where she allegedly gave him an Ayurvedic tonic laced with poison.
According to the prosecution, Greeshma, her mother and uncle concealed the poison bottle to eliminate evidence. Within days, Sharon’s health deteriorated rapidly and on October 25, he succumbed to multiple organ failure.
