A youth was found hanging in the flat of popular Kannada actress, model and former Bigg Boss Kannada contestant Krishi Thapander in Bengaluru. The name of the deceased is Boishakh Md. He is 33 years old. Tradesman by profession. The name of the deceased is 20-year-old Arun Kumar, a resident of Rajarajeshwari Nagar.
According to police sources, the young man is actually a resident of Girinagar. But he stayed in the flat for a long time. On the day of the incident, he was alone in the flat on Wednesday.
Before taking a drastic decision, Boishakh tries to communicate with Kristi. The actress was shocked to see the message. He immediately informed the incident to Boishakh’s family.
Victim’s family members rushed to Kristi’s flat. But by then it was too late. The victim was found dead when the door was broken. Police did not find any suicide note or video message from the spot. However, a case of unnatural death has been filed on the complaint of Baishakh’s father.
In the investigation, the police came to know that Baisakh came to the attention of the police at the beginning of this year. An influential businessman named Arvind Reddy was arrested by the police on Baisakh for allegedly sending threatening letters worth crores of rupees through courier.
The letter also contained death threats to Arvind. Boishakh was later released on bail. Police are investigating whether he committed suicide due to tension in the case or some other personal reason.
