Ernakulam: Police intensify investigation into Kadamkkudy couple's suicide
In the case of a couple committing suicide in Ernakulam, the police have intensified their investigation team to find the online loan app. Ernakulam Rural SP told Asianet News that the police collected the details of the bank transactions of Shilpa, who committed suicide, and that the messages she received from the app are also being investigated.
The central aspect of the investigation revolves around the online loan app connected to the incident where Nijo and his family tragically took their own lives due to financial distress in Kadamakkudi.

Shilpa holds account at the Federal Bank branch at Koonammavu, Ernakulam. The police have collected the details of the money coming into this account. Currently, the case is charged with murder. If the details of the app are available, they will also be implicated in the investigation.
