Bidisha Bezbaruah, a popular actor-singer from Assam, was found hanging from the ceiling at her residence in Gurugram's Sushant Lok area on Monday evening. Though the reason behind her death could not be ascertained immediately, family and friends claimed that she committed suicide due to marital discord.

Her husband Nisheeth Jha was arrested on Tuesday evening on charges of abetment to suicide. Meanwhile, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal called Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar, and urged him for a thorough probe in the case. In addition, MoS Kiren Rijju directed the Haryana DGP to give him a detailed report about the incident.

Bidisha and Nisheeth had met while working in the same office. The two tied the knot on April 28, 2016. Later, Nisheeth got a job with an MNC in Mumbai and Bidisha also took a transfer. But she returned to Gurugram in the first week of July. According to friends, she had come to know about Nisheeth's extra-marital affair. They also suspect that she was a couple of months pregnant but the cops said that would be confirmed only after a post-mortem.

Bidisha's father Ashwini Kumar Bezbaruah told the media that she had called him on Monday evening, at 5.08pm, and said she wanted a divorce. "I told her to keep calm. Then I called Nisheeth and urged him to return to Delhi.

He flatly refused," he said.

"Let me take my own decisions", were Bidisha's last words to her father before she cut the call and switched her phone off.

According to the police, when Nisheeth could not reach her, he called the broker of the newly rented house and asked him to check. When she did not open the door, the broker called the police, who broke open the door to find her hanging from the ceiling fan.

"Around 7.30pm, Nisheeth called me and said something was wrong with Bidisha. In the next call, he told me that she had died. Then I got a call from the police as well, who informed me of her demise. She had shared her problems, including her husband's extra-marital affair, with her friends and family," Bezbaruah said.

"She was a multi-talented girl, be it singing, dancing, or acting," the bereaved father said.
