Bitasta, who was a small-time actress in the Bengali entertainment industry, was found hanging from the ceiling in her flat in the southern part of Kolkata's Kasba area.
The incident came to light after she failed to reply to her mother's repeated phone calls for almost two days. Bitasta, used to reside at the apartment alone and her worried mom then visited the flat to check on her. When Bitasta did not open the door despite several knocks, her mother and neighbours informed police.
"Going by the preliminary signs it seems that she committed suicide. However, we are waiting for the postmortem report. The body appeared to be two-day-old and there was a bit of stench in the room," a police officer said. Police claimed the actress was under severe stress for quite sometime which could be a reason behind the incident.
"We have gone through her Facebook profile and posts, and found quite depressing posts on her wall... In fact at one point she had also talked about putting an end to her life...We are checking everything including her call details," police said.
