It's not the one Mike used, he mentioned SD-TTSurekh. In fact, a
Google search for DV-TTSurekh gives as first hit a link to download it,
without any indication as to the legality of this.
But what you say probably applies to SD-TTSurekh as well:

According to http://fr.fontstock.net/11471/sd-ttsurekh-normal.html
where you can see samples, the glyph for क is encoded at E, not a. But
it's not at all Unicode-compliant anyway.

Indeed no.
