Her husband, Avinash Narne, a software engineer, was initially believed to have discovered her unresponsive in a locked bathroom and called 911. However, an autopsy revealed that Raajitha had died from asphyxiation due to strangulation, prompting a shift in the investigation toward homicide. Key evidence included messages where Raajitha described a smoothie made by her husband as tasting like cough syrup, as well as communications between Avinash and another woman in India, suggesting a possible motive. Avinash was arrested on charges of murder. Members of the Telugu community involved in Raajitha’s cremation were unaware of the homicide investigation at the time and expressed shock upon learning of the allegations against Avinash.
