Bengaluru, Feb 18: A 26-year-old Kannada singer committed suicide over alleged dowry harassment on Monday. Sushmitha, a playback singer who got married to Sharath Kumar about one-and-a-half years ago, hung herself from the ceiling at her parent's home in Nagarabhavi, Bengaluru on Monday.
The singer sent a Whatsapp to her brother and mother before hanging herself early morning on Monday. She accused her husband and his relatives of dowry harassment in her death note.
According to Bengaluru Police, the singer has accused her husband, his sister and his aunt of harassing her for dowry in her death note. On Monday morning, Sushmitha's brother alerted the police after he found her dead body hanging from the ceiling. She used her dupatta to hang herself.
Sushmitha had lent her voice for Kannada songs in films like Haalu Thuppa and Srisamanya.
Police informed that Sushmitha sent a Whatsapp message to her brother, Sachin, at around 1 am on Sunday and explained that her husband Sharath and her relatives have been harassing her since the time she got married. Sachin read the message at around 5:30am and rushed to her room where he found her hanging from the ceiling.
In the text message, Sushmitha wrote that her husband, Sharath, his sister, Geetha, and his aunt, Vydehi, harassed her and they were the reason behind her ending her life. She also stated that she did not want to end her life in their house and hence came to her parents’ house.
The Annapoorneshwari Nagar police have registered a case of dowry death, charging her husband and his sister and aunt based on complaint filed by Sushmitha’s mother Meenakshi. The three accused are on run after hearing about her death and police said that efforts are on to trace them.
Sushmitha's husband Sharath Kumar is a manager in a car showroom and a resident of KS Nagar in Bengaluru.

Nothing to say ! Everything is in the name of Dargha fights route cause is Un-Islamic.
Wrong people of the RIGHT-RELIGION.
Desecrating grave and Ullal Kazi khoora Thangal and SSF electing a rowdy who spending night at bar as Darga president against majority wishes
these two example enough for how low people can go for Darga business
lock down darga to save people from hell fire
really inhuman incident. must be hanged whoever made this crime.
These people trying to take advantage of Minister's patience. May Almighty Allah rest in peace his parents. Aameen
either minister or common people , writings on graves , building permanent structures not allowed in islam, muslims should avoid it... people can not show their anger by destroying such things, or degrading graves... only fools and ignorant muslims only can do such things... those fighting for power, should understand that you are fighting for unlawful money , dargha itself is un islamic thing for muslims... Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) ordered to destroy such dargahs, muslims also follow that way only...
what UT Khader did now, this people fighting for dargah's president ship. and damaging ut khader's parents graves is different issue.
as Monu Borkala said,
the above incident clearly says Dargah business is very profitable and it does not have any islamic background, and i must say that for money this type of people will kill anybody and do above incident further,
inhuman can do this crime. totally i must say its wrong. for all of us parents means its like a god to us, for the memory we build their grave, it feels like they are with us, damaging grave is like playing with emotions.
Whoever did this job is highly condemnable at the same time being a well wisher of U.T.Khader we are expecting our Minister to act fairly in the trouble unfolding in Ullal dargah. He is taking wrong side by siding with SSF people against the wishes of people of Ullal. It was clear by recent election to Dargah Committee majority of 27 out of 49 members elected a president instead of supporting people verdict sending government official of waqf at mid night to lock the Dargah chamber is highly condemnable.
UT Khader's big Fan, this must be a work of SDPI, if dog bark on the street let them bark, we should not think about it.
khader sir we are with you, whatever damage they have done to you the same in other way they will go through it.
Dont worry khader bhai, not a big deal to build a newer one. let this dogs go to the hell.
sad news, whatever the issue is touching someone's grave is totally wrong. i can proudly shout \humanity lost\"."
the above incident clearly says Dargah business is very profitable and it does not have any islamic background
catch those mad dogs and grave them in road.
UT khader's father was a great man he sacrificed so much to the society. this is clearly a horrible violence.
this is totally wrong, the politician or common man. should not touch the grave of the parents, some mad dogs did this
Devotees? These are humans with the worst order. And they want to take iver management of a dargah... obviously for corrupt purpose. #Shame
