The estranged wife of IAS officer Ranjeeth Kumar, Surya J, in her suicide note, claimed innocence in two cases registered against her in Tamil Nadu.

Surya had reportedly eloped with a gangster based in Tamil Nadu over six months ago.

In the suicide note written in Tamil, she claimed to be unaware of the criminal background of the gangster Maharaja Perumal alias ‘High Court Maharaja’, with whom she had opened a salon in partnership. 

Surya had eloped to Tamil Nadu after a brief relationship with the gangster, leaving behind her husband and two sons.

In Tamil Nadu, she was embroiled in a criminal case involving Maharaja and his associate Senthil Kumar when his gang allegedly kidnapped a boy on July 11 due to a financial dispute with the boy’s mother. They demanded a ransom of ₹2 crore from the mother. However, Madurai police were able to rescue the boy.

As Surya’s name was also disclosed in the kidnapping case, she knocked on the doors of her IAS officer husband’s residence in Gandhinagar.

IAS Ranjeeth Kumar refused her entry and informed the Madurai and Gandhinagar police about Surya’s arrival in Gandhinagar. 

Before the police could apprehend her, Surya ingested poison. According to reports, some evidence has suggested Surya’s involvement in other crimes, too.
