Pandian Stores' fame actress Chithra fondly known as Chithu by her friends and fans died by apparently hanging herself in the bathroom of a star hotel she was staying in near Nazrethpet in Chennai in the wee hours of December 9th.

Chithra's husband Hemnath Ravi who was also staying with her during the unfortunate incident was later arrested by the police after a week of grilling and is in jail for the past two months.

Hemnath in his bail application has sought the court to relieve him in his wife Chithra's death case claiming that he has no connection to it. He also pointed out that even after 60 days of his arrest the FIR has not been filed against him. Basing on these arguments the Madras HIgh Court has given conditional bail to Hemnath and he is likely to be out of jail in a couple of days after legal formalities are completed.
