Introduction [0:01]
The video introduces the case of Sharon and Greeshma from Kerala, presenting a seemingly normal couple's video clip that hides a sinister plot. This case, deemed "rarest of the rare" by the court, involves betrayal, murder, and extensive manipulation. The narrator emphasizes the depth of research conducted to present accurate facts, acknowledging assistance from Malayali friends and authorities in Kerala.
The Beginning of a Relationship [1:55]
In October 2021, Sharon Raj, a final-year radiology student, met Greeshma on a bus and fell in love at first sight. Greeshma, pursuing post-graduation in English Literature, reciprocated his feelings, and their relationship deepened over time. Sharon became deeply devoted to Greeshma, envisioning a future together.
Betrayal and Deceit [3:07]
Four months into their relationship, in February 2022, Greeshma's family arranged her engagement to a man in the army. Despite this, Greeshma continued her relationship with Sharon, promising to marry him and elope in November. She used Sharon as a "time pass" until she could marry the other man. Greeshma then manipulated Sharon by claiming her horoscope predicted the death of her first husband, hoping to deter him. When Sharon insisted on marrying her regardless, Greeshma pretended to be married to him, even having physical relations and checking into hotels.
The Juice Challenge [6:21]
Greeshma took Sharon to the Old Marthanda Bridge in Kerala for a "juice challenge," where she planned to poison him. She mixed 50 paracetamol tablets into one of the mango juice bottles. Sharon spat out the juice due to its bitter taste, and Greeshma quickly disposed of the bottles, claiming the juice was bad.
The Kashayam Poisoning [7:46]
On October 13, 2022, Greeshma contacted Sharon, promising sexual favors and luring him to her house the next day. On October 14, she challenged Sharon to drink kashayam (an Ayurvedic concoction), which she had laced with poison, specifically a medicine her mother used for knee pain. Greeshma had researched the effects of the poison extensively, indicating her intent to kill Sharon. After drinking the kashayam, Sharon vomited and fell ill.
Aftermath and Deception [11:12]
After Sharon left her house, Greeshma sent text messages to convince him that his vomiting was normal and apologized insincerely. She diverted his attention from the kashayam, suggesting the juice was the cause. Despite Sharon's deteriorating condition, Greeshma delayed seeking proper medical help. Sharon was eventually hospitalized, and his brother contacted Sharon's friend Rejin, who revealed the events at Greeshma's house.
Sharon's Dying Declaration and Death [14:56]
On October 20, 2022, Sharon gave a statement to a magistrate, stating that he experienced vomiting and loose motions after drinking the kashayam and juice given by his girlfriend. He passed away on October 25 due to multiple organ failure and cardiac arrest after 11 days of treatment.
Investigation and Arrests [18:10]
Following Sharon's death, his brother filed a complaint, and an FIR was registered. The police faced the challenge of investigating without eyewitnesses, relying on circumstantial evidence. Greeshma was summoned for questioning and initially fabricated a story, claiming Sharon consumed the poison himself after seeing her engagement album. She even pretended to drink toilet cleaner at the police station. However, confronted with evidence like call records, chats, and search history, she confessed to the crime. Greeshma, her mother, and her uncle were arrested.
Evidence and Trial [20:39]
The prosecution faced a challenging trial due to the lack of eyewitnesses. The police presented digital, scientific, and circumstantial evidence, including deleted WhatsApp messages, Greeshma's internet search history about paracetamol toxicity, and Sharon's post-mortem report. The post-mortem revealed severe damage to Sharon's internal organs due to a corrosive poison, likely a herbicide. Greeshma's uncle, an agriculturalist, had purchased a banned herbicide from a shop near the Tamil Nadu-Kerala border.
Greeshma's Defense and Conviction [24:28]
In her defense, Greeshma claimed Sharon blackmailed and physically tortured her. Her defense council argued that Sharon did not mention Greeshma's name in his dying declaration. Despite these arguments, the court, considering the evidence, found Greeshma guilty. The court noted Greeshma's clear motive to eliminate Sharon to marry someone else and prevent their relationship from being exposed.
Verdict and Aftermath [27:52]
On January 20, 2025, the court sentenced Greeshma to death for the murder, while her uncle received a three-year prison sentence for destroying evidence. Greeshma's mother was acquitted. The case revealed Greeshma had attempted to kill Sharon ten times in the last two months of his life and had four previous affairs. The narrator concludes by emphasizing the importance of making informed decisions in relationships and protecting oneself from emotional manipulation.
