Supreme Court holds verdict in Prathyusha's death case—family hopes for closure soon
The Supreme Court has paused to decide on the 2002 case of actor Prathyusha's mysterious death.
While the case was ruled a suicide, her mother maintains it was murder and has been fighting for justice ever since.
With new evidence and arguments now on the table, everyone is waiting to see what the court will finally say.
How we got here
Prathyusha was a rising star in Tamil and Telugu films when she died at just 22.
Her boyfriend, Siddharth Reddy, survived but was convicted of abetting her suicide—his sentence later reduced from five years to two.
Unhappy with this outcome, Prathyusha's mom took the fight all the way to the Supreme Court.
Now, after years of legal twists and turns, friends and family are hoping for answers and justice for Prathyusha's death.
