Instagram influencer Radhika Dhamecha, 26, tragically died by suicide on Friday night at her home in Rajkot. The reason behind her drastic decision remains unclear, according to a Times of India report.
According to police reports, Radhika had around 45,000 followers on Instagram and had been living separately from her parents following her divorce. She was also the mother of a six-year-old boy, who lived with her.
Before taking the fatal step, Radhika made a distressing phone call to her father, expressing her intention to end her life. Sadly, by the time he could react, it was too late. She was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead upon arrival.
Her family expressed shock over the incident, stating that she appeared happy and showed no signs of distress that might have led to such a step.
The report quoted NN Patel, Police Inspector at the University Police Station, as saying, “Dhamecha was an Insta star and had a huge fan following. She got divorced and was the mother of a six-year-old boy who was residing with her. We are recording the statements of her friends, but the family is shocked and busy performing her last rites. Their statements will be recorded later. The investigation is underway to know the reason for this extreme step.”
