A friend of Akash’s father said the 25-year-old frequently demanded money from his father, despite repeated warnings.
His father suspected that he was making frequent trips to Maharashtra, but the purpose of these visits remained unclear.
A youth from the village expressed concerns that Akash’s family, which owns only one acre of agricultural land, cannot afford to repay the `5 lakh debt raised by betting losses.
Police have not yet identified the specific betting app used by Akash. Investigators will analyse details from his mobile phone and speak to family members before proceeding with the probe.
