By Shibimol KG: A 23-year-old college student was poisoned by his girlfriend in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram since he was unwilling to end the relationship. The accused was taken into custody when she confessed to the crime after eight hours of questioning.
The 23-year-old radiology student, Sharon Raj, died on October 25. Police, on October 31, confirmed that his girlfriend poisoned him. Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Ajith Kumar said that Sharon Raj, a native of Thiruvananthapuram, was killed by his friend, Greeshma.
Police said Greeshma confessed to committing the crime after 8 hours of questioning. She did so to get rid of him because he did not agree to end the relationship.
"She called him to her house and mixed a pesticide named Kapiq in an ayurvedic concoction and made him drink it. He vomited right after that and left with his friend later. The murder was planned earlier and she called him home to execute it," said the ADGP. The incident took place on October 14.
Greeshma and Sharon were in a relationship for a year. In February 2022, there were some problems between them, and Greeshma's wedding was fixed with somebody else. However, they continued the relationship. Recently, they had some problems again, and to get rid of Sharon, she decided to kill him. Greeshma had earlier attempted softer methods to somehow make him agree to end the relationship.
Greeshma also cooked up a story to scare him into leaving her by stating that, as per her horoscope, her first husband would die.

"Sharon's brother was calling Greeshma continuously to check what she gave him. She didn't reveal anything out of fear. If she had, he could have been saved," said the ADGP.
Sharon died on October 25 at Thiruvananthapuram medical college hospital. His family alleged that this was a planned murder by his girlfriend. The magistrate recorded his death statement on October 20 and police took the statement on October 21. Sharon, in his death statement, had repeatedly stated that he didn’t doubt anyone.
Now, Greeshma, who confessed to the crime after an 8-hour interrogation, has been taken into custody by police officials in Thiruvananthapuram.
