Adding to the complexity of the situation, Sannidhi, who belongs to a lower caste, gave birth to a child just months after their marriage, further complicating Sanket's plight. It was later revealed that Sannidhi had been involved in similar fraudulent activities in the past, preying on unsuspecting individuals for monetary gain.

The gravity of the situation prompted Sanket to file a complaint against Sannidhi at the Doddapet police station in Shimoga last November, seeking justice for the financial and emotional turmoil he had endured.
