Telugu TV News Anchor Swetcha Votarkar Commits Suicide
The deceased's father alleged that she was driven to suicide due to continuous harassment by a Purna Chander, who had been pressuring her to marry him.
Prominent Telugu TV news anchor Swetcha Votarkar died by allegedly hanging herself at her residence in Jawahar Nagar, Gandhi Nagar, on Friday night under suspicious circumstances.
The police have registered a case of suspicious death and are investigating the matter.
Several doubts have been raised regarding the circumstances of her death, prompting police action based on a complaint filed by her parents.
Her father Shankar made serious allegations regarding Votarkar's death. He accused a man named Purna Chander Badavath of being responsible. He said that Badavath had been living with his daughter for the past four years, and that Swetcha was driven to suicide due to continuous harassment by Badavath, who had been pressuring her to marry him.
