TV actress Moumita Saha found hanging from ceiling fan in Kolkata

The body of a TV actor was found hanging in her room at Ashoknagar which falls under the Regent Park Police Station jurisdiction.

The police said that 23-year-old Moumita Saha, hailing from Bandel of Hooghly district, used to live alone at the rented place in south Kolkata. Unable to get through to her on phone, her parents called up her landlord who, at about 10 pm on Friday broke open her room and found her hanging from the ceiling with her ‘dupatta’.

Nimbalkar Santosh Uttamrao, deputy commissioner of police (south suburban division) said a suicide note was found which reflected she was suffering from mental depression owing to lack of professional success.

“No foul play is suspected prima facie and there has been no complaint so far. The body has been sent for a post mortem and a case of an unnatural death has been initiated,” he said.

Police are looking into her mobile phone call list to ascertain if there was any abetment to suicide. It has also not been ascertained if she was in an inebriated state. Police said it would be clearer once the post mortem report arrived.

Sources in the entertainment world said that she had been trying to get a break in the film industry for some time, but had no success so far which was the main reason for her being depressed.
