Telugu actress found dead in Hyderabad

Close on the heels of the acid attack on two engineering students in Warangal district of Andhra Pradesh last week, Hyderabad was shocked by the death of upcoming actress Bhargavi in rather suspicious circumstances. The police has not ruled out murder.

Telugu actress Bhargavi was found dead at her home in Banjara Hills in Hyderabad on Tuesday. Also found with Bhargavi was the body of Praveen who was allegedly a friend. Police suspect Praveen could have killed Bhargavi and committed suicide.

"It may be a suicide or perhaps murder because the scene looks disturbed. We are thinking it is a murder,'' said Ravi Varma, DCP, Hyderabad.

Bhargavi became popular in the film world after playing the second lead in 'Ashta Chemma' that was a big hit this year.

She was already a well-known television artiste and anchor.

Bhargavi was of late shooting for another Telugu film 'Holidays' in which she was playing the lead. She had reportedly made commitments for 10 other films.
