The circumstances surrounding Kashyap’s death are shrouded in speculation, with her family suspecting a tragic outcome of a purported love affair.
In a heart-wrenching statement to the media, Sujita’s mother said, “She was a normal human being, there was nothing unusual until she came into a relationship with a boy from Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh.”
Detailing the ordeal her daughter faced, Sujita’s mother said, “After residing in Andhra Pradesh for six years, she relocated to Assam upon securing a job opportunity. Following the recent voting, she confided in me about her distress, stating that the mentioned boy persistently raises topics that irritate her, leading to heightened emotions and hindering her ability to focus on her work.”
Expressing concerns over potential mental harassment or blackmail, the grieving mother added, “We believe that the boy has mentally harassed or blackmailed her for something of which we are still not aware.”
Kashyap’s tragic demise comes at a particularly poignant moment, as she had recently secured a job offer at Nemcare Hospitals, following a successful interview. She was slated to commence her new role on Monday, adding to the profound sense of loss felt by her colleagues and loved ones.
