By 2022, Akashdeep ceased communicating with her spouse and her parents stopped interacting with the victim’s relatives.

The suspects were charged with cheating, criminal breach of trust, and criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The inquiry will now gather evidence and determine the facts.
