Pratima, who was a committed government official, was tragically strangled to death. ACP Pawan organized three teams to look into the case, and as the investigation progressed, they found a crucial clue that pointed towards her former driver, Kiran.
Kiran, the person accused of committing the murder, was arrested and taken into custody from Male Mahadeshwara Hill. During questioning, he admitted to the heinous crime. Kiran had worked as a driver in the Department of Mines and Earth Sciences for eight years, with the last four years being under Pratima's supervision. However, he had lost his job a month before this tragic incident due to his poor job performance.
The murder took place when Kiran unexpectedly went to Pratima's house one Saturday evening. As she was entering her home, Kiran used her veil to strangle her, causing her untimely death. He did this because he was upset about losing his job and felt mistreated at work.

After Pratima left her job, she returned to her hometown. Kiran, who was dealing with personal problems, had visited her house before for support. However, on this particular evening, Pratima didn't interact with Kiran, which made him even more angry and frustrated. DCP Rahul Kumar shared that Kiran had even contemplated visiting Pratima at the office before the tragic incident took place.
Initial speculations hinted at various possible motives for Pratima's murder, including family issues and allegations of stopping the illegal stone mining, which had resulted in accused Kiran’s dismissal. However, a comprehensive investigation has now laid those theories to rest, conclusively establishing Kiran as the perpetrator of this heinous crime.
