Following investigations, the police learnt that the man had sent a suicide note to one of his friends on WhatsApp. Unable to get through him, his friend then reached out to the actor's aunt Rajashree, a resident of Jabalpur. She then called up his mother Pooja. Helpless, Pooja looked up for the number of the nearest police station on the Internet, and sought help from the Vanrai police.
