During the initial investigation, the police also found that the actor was operating multiple bank accounts for financial transactions and was frequently using credit cards despite not being in a sound fiscal state. Friends and relatives of the actor initially told police that Gurucharan was indulging his spiritual side and had even put forward the thought of going to the mountains.
Earlier, the president of the All Indian Cine Workers Association, Suresh Shyamlal Gupta, urged Delhi's Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of Delhi to ensure an expeditious probe into the matter.
