Bhargavi, a 25 yr old upcoming Telugu actress was found dead at her Hyderabad residence on Tuesday evening. Another body of an orchestra troupe operator, Praveen Kumar, was found lying next to hers. 

The police recovered a blood-stained dagger, some cyanide powder packed in paper and the suicide note from the site of crime. The suicide note purportedly written by Parveen Kumar stated that disturbances in personal life drove them to suicide. But the police suspect that he first stabbed Bhargavi to death and then committed suicide by consuming cyanide. 

Bhargavi who was an upcoming actress had rented an apartment at Banjara Hills. The house owner, Dastagiramma, told the police that her mother had accompanied her when she did the preliminaries for the accommodation, but it was Kumar who frequented her place. 

On Monday Bhargavi had returned from a trip to Gorantla, her native village in Guntur district and was to attend shooting of a new film on Tuesday morning. The film unit dispatched a car with driver Ramesh to pick her up from her house. The driver waited outside the house from 6 a.m. Since the actress did not turn up, film unit members Srikanth and Prashant drove to her place. 
 
"With none responding to repeated calls, they pushed open the door and found Bhargavi and Kumar lying dead," Banjara Hills ACP V. Ramakrishnaiah said.
