The victim's mother has filed a separate complaint, alleging that the girl blackmailed and pressured her son into a physical relationship. She also expressed concerns about the college's handling of her son's health issues, stating that when he had chickenpox in May, the college asked him to leave the hostel, forcing him to stay at a government rest house where she had to care for him.

DSP Sundernagar, Bharat Bhushan, confirmed that the case is under investigation. Forensic teams have collected evidence from the scene, and CCTV footage from the hostel is being reviewed. The accused remains in custody and will be held until Monday, June 2, as the investigation continues, with police examining the family's allegations. Girl Commits Suicide in Shimla After Failing Class 12 Exams.
