Tamil actress Chitra’s husband arrested for alleged abetment to suicide

Days after the death of Tamil actress-host Chitra in Chennai, her husband Hemnath has been arrested for allegedly abetting her suicide. Her mother had accused him of physically abusing Chitra.

Chitra, 29, was found dead at a hotel on December 9. The couple got married a few months ago. According to a report, Hemanth was angry with Chitra for some of her intimate scenes in a serial. “Hemnath did not like a scene she had enacted on TV.
