It stated that police had examined 17 WhatsApp chats belonging to Saif and seized the WhatsApp groups named after Anusha, Bhargavi, and LDD+ knockouts. It is found that Saif who was a trainer to Preeti in the anesthesia department has got a dispute with the latter on two occasions when Preethi wrote an anesthesia report on an accident case last December.

According to police, Saif took advantage of the mistakes in the report furnished by Preethi on the accident case and posted it in the WhatsApp group mocking her saying that she had got the PG Medical seat under reservation category. Distressed over it, Preethi questioned Saif as to what was his problem and warned him that she would complain to HOD if there was any problem.

Subsequently, Preethi committed suicide on the next day.
