Chitra’s postmortem report confirms suicide by hanging

While police are inquiring her husband Hemanth and the hotel crew, Assistant Commissioner Sudharshan, the investigation officer, said the crew of the serial will also be subjected to interrogation.

“We will question them one after another and her mobile phone will also be sent for analysis for possible evidence,” said the official.

Police said the delay in opening the room door cost her life. “Chitra sent Hemnath out to bring her bag from the car and when he returned the door had been locked from inside. Since she did not respond to the doorbell, he was under the impression Chitra was in the bathroom. Since she did not open the room for a long time, he rushed to the reception, which is about 200 metres away and brought a room service boy with the spare keys.

When he opened the door, Chitra was found hanging. They removed the noose and has tried first-aid, but in vain,” said police, based on the statements of Hemnath and hotel staff.
