Sources said Ramkumar left the city in the December and came back in April. The revelation came during custodial interrogation ordered by a metropolitan magistrate court. He was sent to the Puzhal prison on Friday evening after three days of police custody, police sources said he had confessed to proposing to Swathi, but she had rebuffed him. According to reports, "Ramkumar would be waiting for Swathi to pass his mansion. He would be there waiting to have a glimpse of her every day.
