Indian actress found dead in apartment
gurugram — A court here on Wednesday remanded Nisheeth Jha — the husband of Assamese actress Bidisha Bezbaruah, who allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan earlier this week — to one-day police custody.
Jha was arrested on charges of abetment of suicide after Bidisha’s father, Aswini Kumar Bezbaruah, accused him of having an extramarital affair. Bidisha’s body was found hanging on Monday evening in a flat at Sushant Apartments in Sector 43 of Gurugram.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (DLF) Harender Singh said Jha was in Mumbai on work when the deceased took the extreme step.
Police believe the couple earlier had an argument over the phone.
According to ACP Singh, Bidisha had moved into the rented 2-BHK flat at Gurugram’s Sushant Apartments on Sunday.
Bidisha’s body was discovered by a property dealer, who along with some neighbours, broke into her flat after Nisheeth contacted him saying she was not responding to his phone calls, police said. “No suicide note was found at the site,” a senior police officer said.
Police said Bidisha had also made an appearance in a recently-released Bollywood movie Jagga Jasoos in a dance sequence. Bidisha had moved to Gurugram last week with Nisheeth and joined an Udyog Viharbased PR agency here. —
