Depressed over boyfriend not returning her money, Bengaluru model commits suicide
In a tragic incident in Bengaluru, the city police have arrested a young man named Akshay in connection with the suicide of a model and software company employee, Vidyashree. The incident occurred at her residence in Kempapura, Soladevanahalli, and has sent shockwaves through the community.
Vidyashree, a 25-year-old woman, had been dating Akshay for about a year. During their relationship, she had lent him a amount of Rs 1.76 lakh. However, things took a distressing turn when Vidyashree requested Akshay to return the borrowed money. Instead of complying with her request, Akshay allegedly responded with verbal abuse directed not only at Vidyashree but also at her family members.
Unable to cope with the emotional turmoil caused by Akshay's behavior, Vidyashree took the extreme step of ending her life on July 21. Tragically, she was found hanging at her home. Before her death, she left behind a death note, in which she held her boyfriend accountable for pushing her to take such a drastic step.
Following the suicide, Vidyashree's family filed a case at the Soladevanahalli Police Station. The police initiated an investigation into the matter, examining the circumstances that led to the young woman's suicide.
The investigating team of the police then arrested Akshay in connection with Vidyashree's death.
