A former co-star of the Bhopal dowry death victim has reacted in shock to the incident, calling for a fair investigation.
The 33-year-old victim was found dead at her husband's home in Bhopal's Katara Hills area on May 12.
Actor Swetaa Varma, who worked alongside the victim in the 2021 Telugu film Mugguru Monagallu, remembered her as a warm person who always carried 'positive energy' on set.
Swetaa wrote on Instagram, 'Though our interaction was brief, we shared some fun conversations and a lot of laughter. She carried such positive energy and never seemed like someone who would take such a step.'
The death was initially ruled a suicide by the police, but the victim's family alleged that she was murdered by her husband and in-laws and accused them of a cover-up.
The victim's husband is a lawyer, and her mother-in-law is a judge.
Swetaa added, 'Still in shock hearing that she is no more, especially just 6 months after getting married. I had the opportunity to work with her in the movie Mugguru Monagallu. I truly hope the investigation is conducted properly, the truth comes out, and justice is served.'
