Father says daughter-in-law is the cause of son's death:
Sudeep's father, Damodar, has filed a police complaint in Karkala for abetment to suicide. He claims, 'Sowmya poisoned my son. She has cheated many people like this before. She hid the fact that my son consumed poison for 7 days and caused his death by not getting him proper treatment.'
Sowmya Shetty has completely rejected the accusations against her. In a long statement, she said, 'I am not the reason for Sudeep's death. He might have consumed poison due to his family's opposition and mental stress.' She claims he had already consumed poison when he came from his home in Nellyadi.

I did not marry him for money
According to Sowmya, Sudeep had lakhs of rupees in debt. She says she knew about this but still married him for love. 'His own family had kept him away. Sudeep was heartbroken because they first agreed to the wedding and then refused,' she stated.

Answer to the allegation of serial marriage
Responding to claims that she has been married four or five times, Sowmya said, 'It's true I was married 9 years ago. But I was the one who filed for divorce because of my husband's behaviour. After that, Sudeep himself contacted me on Facebook and proposed marriage. He knew everything about my past.'
