Hyderabad, August 1

Kantamaneni Uma Maheswari, daughter of legendary Telugu actor and former CM NT Rama Rao (NTR), allegedly died by suicide at her residence here on Monday, the police said. She was 57.

Citing preliminary findings, the police said ill-health and depression were suspected to be the reasons for her allegedly taking the extreme step. However, the observations were not conclusive, they said. A police official said Uma Maheswari’s younger daughter, son-in-law and a woman relative broke open the door of the bedroom which was bolted from inside after failing to get a response from her. They found her hanging from the ceiling fan at around 12.30 PM, he said. A case of suspicious death under Section 174 (suicide) of CrPC was registered at the Jubilee Hills police station, the police said.
