Although Kavya had told the police that he did not know Suni, he had claimed that the actress knew him very well. Kavya was questioned along with her mother was questioned last month in the case.

Suni had claimed earlier that ‘madam’ was not aware of the conspiracy to attack the actress as her role was limited to giving him money.
