Even as mystery shrouds the death of Odia television actress Rashmirekha Ojha, whose body was found hanging in her rented house in Bhubaneswar on Monday, police on Tuesday said her boyfriend and former boyfriend would be interrogated to ascertain the reason behind her death.
Besides, they would try to find out who instigated her to end her life.
On Monday, the case had taken a new turn after another youth's name had popped up after an audio clip went viral.
In the audio clip there is a conversation between Santosh and Rashmi. Though it is uncertain how old the audio clip is, it is evident that there was a second person named Raja in the actress’ love life.
As heard in the audio clip, Rashmi is annoyed with Santosh when the latter asks why Raja had blocked him.
Rashmi said why he had called him (Raja) and it was not required to create unnecessary bitterness. Moreover, Rashmi also termed Raja as a psycho and asked Santosh to stay away from him.
To this, Santosh said, "I will show my power if he tries to confront me in Bhubaneswar."
Meanwhile, questions have been raised if Santosh and Raja had a fight over the matter.
However, city DCP Prateek Singh has cleared that it is a clear case of suicide.
"As per the spot investigation, she (Rashmi) used her 'odhni' to hang herself. We had recovered a mobile, laptop and a handwritten note. As per the note, she was going through severe mental depression. She has held none responsible for taking such an extreme step," said Singh.
"Even we haven't received any complaint from the victim's family in this regard. We are investigating this from all angles. As per the landlord, she had rented the house for two months with her male friend. The landlord hasn't yet shared any other information or hasn't filed any complaint. After obtaining the postmortem report, we will decide on the next steps. Moreover, we are also waiting for the reports of forensic analysis of mobile and laptop," Singh added.
Further, Singh said police are trying to contact the friends and family members of the deceased to collect more information.
