New Delhi, April 3 (TNS): A news anchor committed suicide by jumping off from her fifth-floor terrace of her apartment in Hyderabad, Indian media reported.
According to Hindustan Times, this incident happened just hours after Venkannagari Radhika Reddy, 36, anchored the 9pm bulletin news on a Telugu television channel on a Sunday night and returned to her flat.
“She left her bag in the flat and went straightaway to the terrace of the five-storeyed apartment and jumped from there. She died on the spot due to multiple injuries to her head and limbs,” Kukatpalli assistant police commissioner Bhujanga Rao said.
The police managed to discover a suicide note that states that she committed suicide because of depression but accused nobody responsible for her death.
“My brain is my enemy,” she said in the suicide note.
Radhika suffered a divorce six months ago from her husband and had been staying with her parents and sister, according to her colleagues.
“She has a 14-year old son who has been suffering from autism. But she never talked about her family problems in the office and was always jovial. She was an efficient worker and anchored several programmes, particularly devotional programmes,” one of the news correspondents of the channel said on condition of anonymity.
