His father Reshpal was found dead in a sugarcane field on August 18, and shortly afterwards Sumit filed a complaint accusing three other people of killing his father in an attempt to frame them.

After an investigation, India Today reports that police came to believe that Sumit had killed his own father after he found out that his father had a relationship with another man.

During questioning, police say Sumit confessed to the crime. He also said that his father was going to transfer property to his lover.
