What's the story
A law student from Jaipur has been arrested for allegedly conspiring to kill her mother, Neeraj Sharma.

Motive revealed
Ayushi also suspected of killing her father
The police investigation revealed that Ayushi wanted her mother's government job and was eyeing the family property. According to NDTV, her uncle, Rakesh Sharma, has alleged that she may have also killed her father, Vijay Sharma. Vijay died last year after a prolonged illness. Rakesh alleged that Ayushi and Balram shifted Vijay to an unknown hospital after he suffered a brain stroke and kept the family in the dark about his treatment for three months.

When questioned by Neeraj, Ayushi claimed she had admitted her father to a private hospital. Later, doctors informed the family that several of his organs were failing.
