Venkat Raman’s Heartbreaking Revelation

While Raman refrained from speaking to the media, his lawyer conveyed his client’s profound grief. “He can die for his son but will now have to live without him,” the lawyer said, shedding light on the depth of Raman’s loss. According to the lawyer, the trigger for the crime remains a matter of speculation, hinting at a possible motive related to the ongoing custody battle for the child.

Custody Battle and Missed Connections

The lawyer revealed that a custody battle had been unfolding in a Bengaluru family court for the past year. Initially, Raman was allowed only phone or video calls with his son, which progressed to home visits. However, Seth’s insistence on meeting in a child-friendly environment, such as a cafe, led to further complications. Raman’s last attempt to see his son on January 7 ended in vain, as he waited outside Seth’s house without any response.
