Bidisha Bezbaruah of Jagga Jasoos fame commits suicide in Gurugram husband held for abetement

Bidisha Bezbaruah, a small-time actor whose appearence in the recent Bollywood film Jagga Jasoos impressed many, was found hanging from the ceiling of her house yesterday. The 26-year-old actress allegedly committed suicide in her rented accommodation in Sushant Lok Phase-I B-Block over her husband's extra-marital affair. 

The police have arrested her husband Nisheet Jha on charges of abetment of suicide. Meanwhile, Bidisha's family confirmed that her husband did have feelings for a colleague, which resulted in a marital dischord between the two. Bidisha was found hanging from the ceiling fan around 8:30 pm when the real estate agent, through whom the couple had rented the apartment, and the neighbours broke open the door. 

How things unfolded

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Deepak Saharan, "Her husband tried to call her, but there was no response. He then called up the broker to go and check on her. The broker along with some neighbours broke open the door when there was no response and found her hanging."

Most of the things were still unpacked, said the police. Though no suicide note was found, Bidisha's brother narrated the sequence of events. He said that Bidisha and Nisheet had met when they were working together in a multinational firm in New Delhi and got married in April last year.

"But Bidisha confided in us this April that her husband had an affair with his colleague," said her brother Kaushik. He further added, "Even Nisheet accepted that he had feelings for a colleague. Bidisha wanted to walk out of the marriage, but we counselled her to give their relationship another chance."

 

It so happened that the couple mutually decided to shift to Delhi to give their marriage a second chance. But things took a turn for the worse when Nisheet returned to Mumbai for work and did not return. Bidisha, apparently, was not comfortable with Nisheet staying in Mumbai for so long and had urged him to return. Kaushik said, "She called my father crying on Monday, just hours before the incident."

Bidisha and Jagga Jasoos

An alumni of Indian Institute of Mass Communication, the 26-year old Assamesse actress has done several TV shows and plays. She was considered a "complete talent" among her friends and was known for her "jolly" behaviour. She was culturally very active and was also a very good singer. 

Meanwhile, Nisheet's father S.K Jha said that his son was torn between his wife and his work. Speaking to The Hindu, he said, "Little misunderstandings and altercations between couples are common in marriage. All this talk of extra-martial relation is baseless."
