Popular television actress VJ Chithra's untimely death by apparent suicide shocked fans and the Kollywood industry. The 29-year-old much-adored star of 'Pandian Stores' was staying at a hotel in Nazarethpet when she hung herself in the bathroom on December 9th morning.

Chithra's husband Hemanth Ravi was arrested after a week of interrogation for allegedly abetting the suicide. Hemnath had applied for bail which was opposed by Chithra's parents and also by one Syed Rohit a close friend of Hemnath.

Hemnath's bail hearing was held today and he had held in his petition that contrary to accusations he did not suspect his wife Chithra of infidelity and also never harassed her physically or mentally or forced her to quit acting in serials.

However advocate Prabhavathy who represented the Nazarethpet police inspector in her counter- petition has alleged that according to the police investigation Chithra committed suicide due to the suspicious nature of her husband and the mental torture she went through due to that.

The lawyer who represented Chithra's parents then raised the doubt that the wounds on Chithra did not point to suicide. The police then asked time which was accepted by the court and the bail case of Hemnath has been postponed to February 2nd. One more notable point is that the court refused to admit the petition to stop Hemnath's bail by his friend Syed Rohit.
