More shocking developments are coming to the fore in the DJ Azex alias Akshay Kumar Maharana death case.
As per reports, Azex was in relationship with three girls and the trio had formed a WhatsApp group to expose him. The incident came to light during a probe by cyber experts.
The three girls used the WhatsApp group to discuss as to how Azex had trapped them. While the statement of his girlfriend Jigyansa has been recorded by police, two other girls would be questioned by cops soon, sources added.
On the other hand, Azex’s mother Laxmipriya Maharana warned of immolating herself in front of police station if she doesn’t get justice. “I have lost my 28-year-old son. I know the pain. My son shouldn’t be defamed after death,” she said.
“The WhatsApp group creation matter is false. The truth behind the death of my son is yet to be revealed even after seven days of the incident. We have provided necessary evidence to police regarding the person for whom he died. Efforts are being made to suppress the case with misinformation,” she added.
Azex was found hanging at his residence in Bhubaneswar on March 18 night. Holding his girlfriend and her male friend accountable for abetting his suicide, his mother alleged that he had been subjected to torture and mental harassment by the duo.
As per the contents of the FIR, Azex and his girlfriend, who is an MBBS student in a private college here, were in a relationship since a year. The girl was apparently exploiting him for money and was demanding a two-wheeler. WhatsApp chats revealed that Azex had even transferred Rs 15,000 to her account through PhonePe. The girl, however, ditched him and got involved with another male friend who started threatening Azex to leave her, failing which he would leak an intimate video of them, the FIR read.
