He died out of guilt.

Naren and Yash were arrested that very afternoon and were sent to the maximum-security prison straight away. No matter how much they tried to explain that they were not foreign terrorists, it went into deaf years.

After all, none of their enemies can leave such a good opportunity to go to waste. So, even when they knew Naren and Yash were in fact telling the truth, nobody came forward to help.

Yash knew too many secrets about the political party and its members. So, finishing him off as early as possible will benefit everyone. So, this time, Shreya did not even have to push or say anything to anyone… the whole government worked tirelessly and very efficiently. Yash never even got a chance to fight back… any and all communication with the outside world was blocked. Terrorists do not have the normal privilege other prisoners get.
