A Tollywood junior artiste committed suicide in Hyderabad after a man with whom she was living allegedly cheated her.

K. Anuradha (22) was found hanging from ceiling fan at her rented residence in Giani Zail Singh Nagar in the Film Nagar area.

Her death came to light after police broke open her house door after inmates on the first floor of the building complained about foul smell emanating from the upper floor.

Police shifted the body for autopsy and case was registered at Banjara Hills police station.

Anuradha is suspected to have ended the life three days ago. She was said to be living with man named Kiran.
