Police said two people were arrested after an engineering student’s death, described in the supplied headline as a suicide, was treated as murder. Investigators allege that Naveen abducted Akshitarani, compelled her to write a note accusing Ravi of sexual assault and forced her to consume pesticide. The Hindu reported the police account.

Two people have been arrested after the death of engineering student Akshitarani was determined to be murder rather than suicide, according to The Hindu’s report of police allegations. Police said Naveen intercepted Akshitarani near the FCI crossroads on September 12 as she was returning home. They allege that he took her in his car and forced her to write a note blaming Ravi for sexual assault.

According to the police account, Naveen then forced Akshitarani to consume pesticide. The supplied material does not explain how the death was first classified as suicide, when the alleged circumstances were uncovered or what evidence led investigators to change their view. It also does not identify the second arrested person or describe that individual’s alleged role.

No response from Naveen, Ravi or their representatives is included in the available report. The allegations remain attributed to police. The supplied information gives no further details about the case, the charges filed, the condition of any other person involved or the progress of the investigation.
