Kolkata actor-model Manjusha Neogi was found dead at her home on Friday, 27 May. This is the second such incident in three days, the police told PTI.
As per reports, Manjusha was taken to the hospital but doctors declared her dead when she was brought in. The reports added that the family claimed Manjusha had been depressed since the death of Bidisha De Majumdar, an actor and her close friend. Bidisha, a popular face in bridal make-up photo-shoots, was also found dead at her rented apartment in Kolkata's Dumdum area on Wednesday evening.
Manjusha's mother told PTI, “My daughter was severely depressed following her friend Bidisha's death and was constantly talking about her since then".
The investigation is still going on regarding Manjusha's death.
Popular television actor Pallabi Dey was also found dead at her rented apartment in Kolkata's Garfa around a fortnight back.
