He added that when he asked the person filming his rooms who he was, the stranger did not give any satisfactory reply and left.

"I got to know from a Swami that the stranger too had been hanging around for the past many days before the incident (Neha's murder)," Hiremath said.
The Congress Councillor alleged that there is a larger conspiracy behind his daughter's murder. "It was not something that was hatched and executed within a week but it was conspired for years and many people were involved in it," he claimed.
Neha Hiremath (23) was stabbed to death by Fayaz Khodunaik on the campus of BVB College on April 18.
CCTV footage showed Fayaz stabbing Neha multiple times before fleeing the spot. He was arrested by police later.
