Bhubaneswar: Veteran actor Raimohan Parida who committed suicide was under depression. While his family and friends could not cite any specific cause, it is most likely that he resorted to the extreme step because of depression, DCP Prateek Singh said.
There was no triggering factor on the fateful day or a few days before which could have prompted Parida to take the fatal step, he said, adding that the investigation remains open and all technical aspects and forensics are being probed thoroughly.
Parida committed suicide by hanging himself. However, the reason behind the actor ending his life by suicide is still unclear. The renowned Odia actor and Jatra artist’s body was retrieved from his room at his residence in Prachi Vihar here on Friday.
