Odia television actor, Rashmirekha Ojha, was found dead at her rented home in Nayapalli area on 18 June. Her father has alleged that her live-in partner, Santosh Patra, had a role to play in her death according to a report by The Indian Express.

According to the same report, a senior police officer said that a case of unnatural death has been registered. The police are now waiting for her post-mortem report. The DCP said, “Prima facie, it seems to be a case of suicide as she left behind a note stating that no one was responsible for her death.”

Ojha’s father said, according to the report, “Our calls to her on Saturday went unanswered. Later, Santosh broke the news to us. We came to know from the landlord of the house that Santosh and Rashmi lived as husband-wife. We had no idea about that.”

Ojha was from the Jagatsinghpur district and she rose to fame in the Odia television industry with her role in the daily soap Kemiti Kahibi Kaha.
