Niranjan Hiremath added that the killer Fayaz, after getting rejected by Neha, had continued stalking her. Neha's every movement was followed and he had engaged a group of people to know all the details like the timings of coming to college, the gates she used to enter through, the classes she attended, and the places she visited.
