New Delhi, Aug 1: The late actor-politician NT Rama Rao’s daughter K Uma Maheshwari, who was Chandrababu Naidu’s sister-in-law, is said to have committed suicide on Monday. Maheshwari passed away at her home in Hyderabad’s Jubilee Hills. She was found in her bedroom hanging from the ceiling fan. The body has been moved by the police for an autopsy.
According to reports, Uma Maheshwari had health concerns and had been receiving therapy for a while. A case is being registered U/s 174 CrPC (Police to enquire&report on suicide), and further probe is on.
“A preliminary examination revealed that she was depressed because of her health issues. The body has been moved to Osmania hospital, and a case has been opened “Rajashekhar Reddy, said a police officer at Jubilee Hills.
She was the youngest of NTR’s four daughters and the Telugu Desam Party’s founder (TDP).
Notably, the TDP was founded in 1982 by NT Rama Rao, also known as NTR, under the banner of Telugu self-respect. Within nine months, NTR brought the party to power, ending the Congress’ one-party dominance in the then-undivided Andhra Pradesh. At the age of 72, he passed away in 1996, just a few months after being overthrown by a coup orchestrated by his son-in-law Chandrababu Naidu.
