Kannada TV serial actress Shruthi committed suicide in Bengaluru on Tuesday, after a fight broke between her and a long-time friend.
According to local media, the actress who starred in the serial Avanu Matthu Shravani, was found hanging from the ceiling of her friend’s house under mysterious circumstances.
Shruthi is married to a Mysore-based businessman Umesh and has been living in Harohalli on Kanakapura Road.
According to police, Shruthi went to her friend Shrikanth’s place in Kachohalli near Madanayakanahalli in Nelamangala taluk of Bengaluru for a party. The actress picked up a big fight with her long-time friend after which she locked herself up in a room.
After some time, when Shrikanth knocked the doors, Shruthi didn’t respond. Then Shrikanth and his friends broke open the door and found Shruthi hanging.
Shrikanth made a frantic call to Madanayakanahalli police and informed about the incident. Shruthi’s body was sent for autopsy and no external injuries were found on her body.
“Early on Tuesday 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,” said the police to The New Indian Express.
Shruthi’s husband Umesh has filed a case against Shrikanth on charges of abetting the TV actress to commit suicide.
Shrikanth has been arrested and the police are currently investigating the reason that made the actress take the extreme step.
