Four years after noted TV actor Chitra's death by suicide, father too kills self

CHENNAI: Late TV actor Chithra’s 62-year-old father, Kamaraj, died by suicide on Monday. He was a retired police official and was found dead in his residence in Tiruvanmiyur, according to a Maalaimalar report.

The Tiruvanmiyur police have registered a case and are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Kamaraj’s death.

Chithra, a well-known actor in the Tamil television industry, died by suicide in December 2020. She was found dead inside a hotel room near Poonamallee.

At that time, her family raised suspicions and accused her husband, Hemanth, of involvement. Nazarathpet police arrested Hemanth and later released him on bail due to lack of sufficient evidence.
