They needed another so-called 'enemy' so that Sanjh could fight against him. If Maya and Samay are evils in this show then Sanjh has to fight them both; she being the 'good' one. Prior to this, she was only struggling for Ayaan. I agree though, murder wasn't needed because TBH I expected some sensible manipulation at least from Samay in this show. He started off well but lost his brains somewhere down the line. Alas, it seems like god of Beyhad land only gave Maya all the brains and saare mard are left budhus including Arjun.
Also when an innocent character dies, it does help in creating drama..rona dhona and stuff.
God help this show!
