According to the family’s account, Kumar, a relative of Munikrishna who worked as a cab driver, regularly transported Nayana to and from work. The family alleges that a relationship developed between the two over the past two years.
The matter reportedly came to light around three months before Munikrishna’s death, when Kumar allegedly sent him WhatsApp messages containing photographs, videos and chats involving Kumar and Nayana. The disclosure reportedly led to a confrontation between the couple, after which Nayana returned to her hometown.
The family further alleges that Kumar subsequently verbally harassed Munikrishna and questioned the paternity of Nayana’s unborn child. These claims have not been independently verified.

Sarjapur Police Complaint Seeks Action
A complaint has reportedly been filed at Sarjapur Police Station naming Nayana and Kumar and alleging that harassment connected to their relationship contributed to Munikrishna’s death.
The family has demanded action against the two individuals. However, the supplied report does not establish whether police have confirmed the allegations, what offences have formally been recorded or whether any arrests have been made.
