25-year-old Telugu actress Bhargavi was found dead at her Hyderabad residence on Tuesday evening. Her latest film to hit the silver screen Ashta Chemma was a hit.

 

Police found two bodies at her residence. They have alleged that she was stabbed by a close associate Praveen Kumar who committed suicide immediately after killing her.

 

According to the suicide note Praveen and Bhargavi were not being allowed by the actress’ mother to meet each other.

 

The suicide note purportedly written by Kumar stated that disturbances in personal life drove them to suicide. But the police believe he first stabbed her to death and then committed suicide by consuming cyanide.

 

Among the objects found in the room were a blood-stained dagger, traces of cyanide powder packed in paper and the suicide note.

 

An upcoming actress, Bhargavi lived at Banjara Hills in a rented apartment. Her mother had reportedly accompanied her when she did the preliminaries for the accommodation. But it was Kumar who was a frequent visitor.

 

The actress returned from a trip to Gorantla, her native village in Guntur district on Monday. She was to attend shooting of a new film on Tuesday morning.

 

With almost 10 films in hand, Bhargavi had a promising career ahead of her. She had 10 Telugu films on hand and the movie Holidays is almost 50 per cent complete. Bhargavi was also a well known TV anchor.
