Hyderabad: The heart-wrenching demise of 23-year-old Marri Pravallika, a native of Warangal, has been attributed to personal issues within her relationship, dispelling rumors of her alleged distress over the rescheduled TSPSC Group-II exams.
Authorities confirmed that Pravallika’s decision to end her life was primarily fueled by problems in her relationship with her boyfriend, Shivaram Rathod, rather than academic concerns or exam rescheduling. Despite public speculation and protests in Ashoknagar last night, police investigations have shed light on the true reasons behind her tragic act.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) M Venkateshwarlu, addressing a press conference on Saturday, stated that Pravallika had moved to the city for exam preparations and had not previously attempted the Group-II exams. Venkateshwarlu emphasized that her suicide was unrelated to the recent rescheduling of the exams.
Investigations revealed Pravallika’s relationship with Shivaram Rathod from Mahabubnagar. The couple was in regular contact and had occasional meetings. Disturbingly, Rathod had reportedly committed to marrying another woman, a revelation that deeply affected Pravallika. Their last meeting, observed over breakfast at a hotel in Chikkadpally, seemed to be marked by intense discussions.
“We found WhatsApp chats with Rathod on her phone, corroborating this information,” revealed the DCP. Additionally, a suicide note, a mobile phone, and another letter were recovered from Pravallika’s room. These items will undergo further analysis at the Forensic Science Laboratory. Based on the findings, legal actions, possibly under abetment of suicide, will be initiated against Rathod, stated Venkateshwarlu.
This tragic incident serves as a grim reminder of the complexities of human relationships and the importance of mental health support, particularly during challenging times.
