BENGALURU: A 24-year-old Kannada TV serial actress killed herself by hanging at her friend’s house in Kachohalli near Madanayakanahalli in Nelamangala taluk on Tuesday.
The deceased is Shruthi, wife of Umesh, a businessman. The couple were residing at Harohalli on Kanakapura Road. Shruthi had featured in the Kannada serial Avanu Matthu Shravani.
Police said early on Tuesday when Shruthi had gone to her friend Shrikanth’s house for a party. The two had been friends for years. At the party, Shruthi reportedly had a quarrel with Shrikanth over some issue. Upset, she locked herself up in a room where she hung herself from the ceiling.
Shrikanth repeatedly knocked on the door. When there was no response, he, along with some his friends, broke open the door and found the body.
Madanayakanahalli police, who were alerted about the incident, have sent the body for autopsy.
There were no external injuries on the body.
However, the victim’s husband filed a case against Shrikanth on charges of abetting Shruthi’s suicide. Police have arrested Shrikanth and further investigations are on.
