Hyderabad software employee dies by suicide after threatening video call to boyfriend

Archana Choudhari Malik, 29, worked as a senior associate for a company located in the Mindspace business complex in Hyderabad. In the early hours of Sunday she called her colleague Vimal, a native of Uttarakhand, via video and warned that she would end her life unless he agreed to marry her. Vimal, who was attending a function with his mother, rushed to her Madhapur apartment after she stopped responding, arriving around 5:30 am to find the door locked.

Madhapur police forced the door open and found Malik dead inside. Preliminary inquiries revealed that Vimal is already married and his marriage is in the process of divorce. Authorities have registered a case of suspicious death and will verify the digital messages exchanged between the two.
