The much-loved television personality VJ Chithra passed away in the early hours of Wednesday at a luxury hotel she was staying in on the outskirts of Chennai. Her post mortem report concluded that it was suicide and her body was cremated on Thursday at the Besant Nagar crematorium in Chennai.

According to her husband Hemanth Kumar's statement he was sent out of the room by her and when she did not respond for a long time he and the hotel staff went in with a spare key and found her body hanging. After two days of inquiry, Hemanth has also been summoned today to the Nazarethpet police station for questioning.

Meanwhile reports from the police circle says that the CCTV footage from the hotel was not properly maintained and no conclusive evidence was gathered. The initial belief is that Chithra ever since her she fell in love with Hemanth several months ago and her subsequent engagement to him in August has been under pressure.

It is said that Chithra's mother did not get along with Hemanth and was constantly bickering her to separate from him. Most of Chithra's friends have called Hemanth an alcoholic and a possessive person who put a lot of pressure on her especially asking her not to act in intimate scenes in her serial with male costars.

Chithra's assistant Mohammed has stated on video that his employer whom he calls elder sister chose the wrong person to be life partner and that he has also worked in Hemanth's house and found him to be a bad person.

Some of Chithra's friends point out that the hotel suite where the incident occurred had three rooms and why Hemanth went out of the main door when he could have easily stayed in one of the rooms while Chithra took a bath and changed her clothes. They also point out that the entire hotel has centralized air conditioning and no fans and how she could have hung herself.

Chithra is known to have a cheerful personality who never hurt anyone and has always spent a part of her earnings to help the needy. She is also said to have counseled others against suicide being a psychology student has unfortunately met an undesirable end by taking her own life. However, the mystery still continues as to what exactly drove her to the extreme step and her friends hope the police get to the bottom of it to bring justice to her.
