Suspicious Transaction Raises Questions

Growing suspicious over the transaction of such a huge amount from the company, Aravind's brother Ashin Kannan tried inquiring with the HR of the company.
However, HR failed to give any satisfactory explanation. But, the next day, three senior employees of the company -- Krithesh Desai, Paramesh and Roshan came to Aravind's house and started consoling the family members. For all the questions of the family members, they tried evading the answers and just tried consoling them not to pursue the incident further.
The family members grew suspicious and made a thorough cheking of Aravind's room, where they found 28-page suicide note. In the letter, he had written detailed description of how he was being harassed by the company CEO and senior engineers, leading to his suicide.
