An official working at Petbasheerabad police station, "We don't have any confirmation that she committed suicide while the video call was on. However, she had spoken with her friend on video call before resorting to the extreme step. Her friend told us that the victim had said that she would hang herself. He also told us that he saw her hanging.” Patel and Chowdary had been in a relationship for a while.
Reportedly, Haneesha Chowdary, was angry after her friend expressed unhappiness over her attending a marriage, the police said.
