Mulugu: The police have arrested a woman holding her responsible for the suicide of Wazedu Sub Inspector Rudrarapu Harish on Saturday. The woman was identified as Banoth Anasuya (29).

Harish, 31, died by shooting himself with his service revolver in the early hours of December 2 at a private resort near Mullakatta bridge in Eturnagaram mandal of Mulugu district. The police team, which investigated the case, reportedly found evidence against Anasuya for instigating Harish to take the extreme step. The police said Anasuya used to exert pressure on Harish to marry her and the day on which he died by suicide too, she insisted that he marry her. Harish, who was depressed due to the behaviour of the woman, killed himself with the service revolver, the police said.
