Police said Swapna Varma (33), a native of Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh, was working in the film industry for the past three years. She moved into the present flat about a year ago, where she stayed alone.

Though, in the beginning of her career, Swapna Varma got to work in some projects, subsequently her opportunities started diminishing, pushing her into depression.

Police sources said since past six months, Swapna had no work and was upset over the same.

She is suspected to have hanged herself from the ceiling fan in the bedroom. On Saturday, her neighbours sensed stench from her flat and immediately alerted the police. The door was forcibly opened and her decomposed body was found in the house.

The Madhapur police are investigating. The body was shifted to the Osmania General Hospital morgue for autopsy.
