Bengaluru: Unlike movies where the cops rush to the crime scene after the crime is over, here in the IT city the Jnanabharathi police have a feather on their cap for foiling a suicide bid by an actor.
It is said that on Thursday Shruthi Raj, a small-time actor had intimated the police that she was ending her life following harassment from film financier Srinivas. However, the cops reached the actor accommodation on time and tricked her into a conversation and foiled the suicide bid.
As per sources, Shruthi and Srinivas were in a relationship and when Shruthi persistently borrowed money from Srinivas and at one point even turned down his proposal for marriage, their relationship turned sour. Srinivas was demanding for the repayment of money.
The actor has however denied to have taken any money from him and now claims that she is a Dalit and that is the reason why she is being targeted by Srinivas.
She also accused him of abusing her. The actor has sought action against the financier. The police said they were still investigating the matter.
