Bengaluru: The Annapurneshwarinagar police arrested Kannada playback singer Sushmitha’s husband Sharath Kumar, his aunt and sister for allegedly harassing the singer.
The police based on a tip-off interrogated their relatives, who revealed that Kumar, a manager in a car showroom on Lavelle Road, his aunt Vaidehi and sister Geetha, were holed up at their relative’s house in Pandavapura in Mandya district. They have been handed over to judicial custody.
Kannada playback singer Sushmitha, 27, allegedly committed suicide by hanging at her mother’s residence in the city. Her mother has alleged dowry harassment as a reason for her daughter’s death.
The accused had gone to several places before taking shelter at their relative’s house where they were nabbed. Three of them had not used mobile phones since the incident came to light. They switched off all the phones so that the police could not track them through tower locations, informed a senior police officer.
