Thiruvananthapuram: Following the verdict in the Sharon Raj murder case, DySP M K Zulfikar, the lead investigating officer, shared a major insight into the investigation. He stated that the footage recorded by Sharon, despite Greeshma's objections, played a crucial role in securing the conviction. Zulfikar emphasised that this video, captured as part of the 'juice challenge,' is seen as the divine clue in this case, serving as pivotal evidence in confirming Greeshma's guilt.
Sharon and Greeshma had been in a romantic relationship for about a year. However, things took a dark turn when Greeshma received a marriage proposal from another man with a higher financial standing. As Greeshma tried to distance herself from Sharon, multiple failed attempts to end the relationship led her to take extreme measures. On 14 October 2022, Greeshma mixed poison into a decoction and served it to Sharon, ultimately leading to his death.

Before resorting to murder, Greeshma had tried several times to get rid of Sharon, including through poisoning and encouraging superstitions about her married life. She told Sharon that if she married Sharon, he would die, based on an astrologer's prediction that her first husband would die. Despite these efforts, Sharon insisted on continuing the relationship. This persistence drove Greeshma to take the fatal step of poisoning him.
While Sharon’s family initially told the police that Greeshma had secretly married Sharon and killed him to remove the 'bad luck' in her horoscope, the police were not convinced by this version of events. Instead, the investigation concluded that Greeshma was desperate to marry another man and wanted to eliminate Sharon from her life, ultimately leading to the tragic murder.
