Accused told friend he stabbed Santani
Confession revealed

The police investigation has now uncovered a chilling conversation between the accused and his friend on Instagram that appears to reveal the reason behind the crime.

In the chat, the accused confessed to stabbing Santani. When asked about his actions, he simply replied "Haan" (Yes).

The accused revealed that Santani had threatened him, saying, "Arey meko bolra tha ki kon hain kya karlega tu (He said, who are you? What will you do?)"

'Let it be, what has happened has happened'
Motive disclosed

The friend then tells the accused, "You can't stab someone to death for this. You could have just beaten him up, not killed him."

In response, the accused shrugged it off with "Chord na. Ab jo hogaya vo hogaya" (Let it be. What has happened has happened).

The former then tells him to go underground for some time and "delete these chats."
