The
murder
of
Telugu
actress
Bhargavi
has
opened
up
a
pandora's
box.
With
fresh
evidences
and
information,
the
police
have
been
unravelling
the
murder
mystery.
Actress
Bhargavi
was
found
dead
along
with
an
associate
Praveen,
in
her
apartment
in
Banjara
Hills
in
Hyderabad
on
Tuesday
under
suspicious
circumstances.
First
hand
evidences
showed
that
she
was
stabbed
to
death
by
Praveen,
who
later
committed
suicide
by
consuming
soft
drink
mixed
with
cyanide.
Investigations
have
shown
that
deep
cuts
in
the
lungs
and
chest
led
to
her
death,
though
there
were
many
other
wounds
on
the
rest
of
her
body.
Though
the
police
had
earlier
ruled
out
any
struggle,
the
latest
reports
show
that
Bhargavi,
who
was
not
willing
to
commit
suicide
was
stabbed
to
death
by
Praveen
in
rapid
succession.
Praveen's
suicide
note
reveals
that
Bhargavi's
refusal
to
get
back
to
Praveen
ever
since
they
have
been
staying
separately
for
some
months
had
triggered
the
whole
incident.
Bhargavi
had
got
acquainted
with
Praveen
through
his
orchestra
group,
Saibaba
Orchestra
and
they
tied
the
knot
in
2006.
Apart
from
the
blood
smeared
dagger,
cyanide
powder
and
the
suicide
note,
the
police
have
found
a
CD
and
an
album
from
the
house,
which
prove
that
Bhargavi
was
married
to
Praveen.
However
Praveen's
dubious
identity
and
his
third
marriage
to
Bhargavi
have
raised
much
doubts.
Added
to
that,
the
statements
issued
by
Praveen's
brother
regarding
his
unawareness
of
Praveen-Bhagavi
relationship
and
the
involvement
of
a
third
party
have
made
matter
worse.
According
to
Praveen's
brother,
"It
is
true
that
he
was
married
twice.
First
time,
he
fell
in
love
and
married
a
girl.
We
accepted
her
into
our
family
and
they
have
a
daughter.
When
he
attempted
for
a
second
marriage,
we
objected.
We
were
completely
unaware
about
the
third
marriage
or
about
Bhargavi,
because
many
artists
used
to
meet
him
in
the
pretext
of
organizing
programs
related
to
the
orchestra." Praveen
was
first
married
to
the
daughter
of
a
police
officer,
Dolly
and
later
to
Swapna,
the
heroine
in
Lady
Bachelors.
"I
do
agree
that
he
was
not
faithful
in
his
marital
relationships.
Our
late
father
and
I
were
very
much
concerned
about
him
because
of
this
attitude.
However,
he
is
not
so
weak
to
attempt
a
suicide,
and
I
don"t
think
he
is
bold
enough
to
commit
murder.
I
suspect
that
a
third
party
is
involved
in
this
and
it
could
be
involving
ladies
from
his
past
life."
The
police
have
not
ruled
out
the
possibility
of
the
the
involvement
of
a
third
person
in
the
whole
crime.
Bhargavi's
make-up
assistant
Venkat
is
one
of
the
prime
suspects
as
he
has
been
absconding
since
Tuesday.
It
is
assumed
that
Venkat
must
have
been
the
one
handed
over
information
regarding
Bhargavi's
whereabouts
to
Praveen.
As
per
the
police,
"The
call
logs
of
the
cell
phones
of
both
Bhargavi
and
Praveen
show
calls
were
either
made
to
or
received
from
Venkat's
mobile
on
Tuesday
morning,"
DCP
Ravi
Varma
informed
the
media
that
Praveen
had
come
to
Hyderabad
from
his
native
place
Nellore
armed
with
a
dagger.
"We
have
got
evidence
that
Praveen
came
to
the
city
from
Nellore
only
day
before
yesterday
and
reached
Bhargavi's
house.
He
brought
the
dagger
from
Nellore,"
he
said.
It
has
been
found
that
he
had
taken
the
bus
from
Nellore
at
8:00pm
and
had
reached
Hyderabad
on
Tuesday
morning.
Venkat
is
presumed
to
have
then
given
Praveen
all
the
information
that
day.
Bhargavi's
unprecedented
death
has
left
many
producers
and
filmmakers
in
the
lurch.
One
of
her
ongoing
projects
Holidays
is
yet
to
be
completed.
The
bodies
have
been
handed
over
to
the
families
and
post-mortem
reports
are
awaited.
