Television actor and fitness trainer ends life
Sushil Kumar
Mandya: Sushil Kumar, an actor, allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his friend’s house in Induvalu village, on the outskirts of Mandya, on Wednesday.
The body of Sushil Kumar, a resident of VV Nagar in Mandya city, was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his friend Viswanath’s house. He is said to have committed suicide around two days back, and neighbours who sensed a foul odour emanating from the house, informed the police, and victim’s friend Viswanath.

The police broke open the door and found the decomposed body of the victim.
Viswhanath told the police that he had handed over the key of his empty house to Sushil Kumar three days ago. After he handed over the key, he did not receive any phone call from his friend. After he was alerted by his neighbours, that a foul smell was emanating from his house, and a two-wheeler which was parked outside the house, was not being attended to by anyone, he rushed to the spot. Sushil Kumar’s parents too were unaware that their son was at Vishwanath’s house.
The parents informed the police that their son, who happened to be a gym instructor working in Bengaluru, may have committed suicide as he was dejected after he lost his means of earning a livelihood due to the lockdown. He returned to Mandya after the lockdown was imposed nationwide. Thereafter, he did not return to Bengaluru, even after the lockdown was lifted, as the gym where he was working was closed, and he did not get any opportunity in movies and Kannada serials.
The deceased acted in ‘Kamarottu Checkpost’ and ‘Salaga’. He had also acted in Kannada serial ‘Anthapura’. A senior police officer said that prime facie Sushil Kumar may have ended his life as he was depressed over losing his means of earning a livelihood, and not getting any opportunities in Kannada films. “We have not yet found any suicide note. Though it seems like the victim committed suicide, we must investigate this incident from every angle,” the officer said. A case has been registered in the Mandya Rural police station.
