Nikita Godishala's Father Urges Govt To Bring Back Her Mortal Remains

Nikitha’s father, Anand Godishala, denied that Arjun Sharma was her ex-boyfriend. “It is being shown that he is an ex-boyfriend. It is nothing of that sort,” he said. He clarified that Sharma was her former roommate and that media reports portraying him as her ex-boyfriend were incorrect. According to Anand, Sharma had earlier lived in the apartment along with two other individuals. He said the family came to know through media reports that Sharma, who had allegedly taken heavy loans, including from his daughter, fled to India after committing the murder. "We request the Central and the state governments to help in bringing her mortal remains soon," he urged.

The Howard County police on Sunday obtained a warrant for Sharma's arrest on first and second-degree murder charges, alleging that he killed her and fled to India.
