Following her demise, Twitter was flooded with clips of the actress crying on her Instagram live. Since her untimely death, social media platforms are flooded with tribute messages from her fans, with many speculating the cause of her alleged suicide.
The 25-year-old starlet was discovered dead in her hotel room in the wee hours of Sunday morning. She had returned to her room at Sumendra Residency hotel after attending a birthday bash, but little did anyone know that it would be her last night.
Her lifeless body was found in a sitting position on the bed, with her dupatta wrapped tightly around her neck. When the police arrived and broke open the door of her room, it was a sight that is likely to haunt the witnesses forever.
The investigation revealed that she was shooting for a movie and had gone to bed at 1.55am. Her assistant tried to wake her up at 10am, but there was no response. When the hotel staff used the master key to enter the room, they discovered the ghastly scene.
On an Instagram live, the actress was caught sobbing. However, her last post on Saturday evening showcased her dancing to a Bhojpuri number.
