However, on the day of the incident, March 4, 2025, when she returned from Ernakulam, she struggled to fall asleep. According to Daya Prasad, Kalpana Raghavendar took multiple pills, which further took a turn for the worse. She revealed that Kalpana had initially consumed eight pills. However, when that didn't work, she took ten more, which led to her losing consciousness. And the situation escalated when she didn't respond for two days, prompting alarm bells to ring. She was quoted as:

"She is perfectly fine and happy and healthy now. My Amma is a singer; she is doing her LLB and also doing her PhD. So because of that, she has insomnia. To treat her insomnia, a doctor prescribed her a tablet, and she had consumed that in an overdose. She had overdosed slightly. This is not a suicide attempt, it's just a slight overdose because of stress like general life stress."
