Siddiq and Abdulla had also helped in dumping the body in the river. The same day the body of Rasheed was found floating near Thanirbhavi Beach, and police that day day had registered a case as unnatural death.With pressure from relatives and suspicion that Rasheed’s death was a murder; the police got deep into the investigation and finally found the exact motive behind Rasheed’s death.
It is also learned that Naseema had a relationship with another man (Imran), who had led to constant arguments between her and Rasheed. She wanted a divorce but Rasheed was not willing for it. Naseema saw Rasheed as an obstacle in her marriage with Imran, hence hatched a conspiracy to murder her husband.
