Police said that Abdul was in touch on pretext of being in love with Nandana and uploaded all photos sent by her on social media. A shocked and distraught Nandana was found hanging in the room on the first floor of her house.

It has come to light through police investigation that Shuhaib made a video call to Nandana before she killed herself. It is suspected that Nandana hanged herself halfway through the video call.

During investigation, police checked the mobile records of the deceased Nandana and accused Shuhaib and got vital clues.

Based on the clues unearthed by the police, they arrested Shuhaib. He is being further interrogated by the police.
