A 28-year-old actor, Rahul Mahesh Dixit, was found hanging in his bedroom where his wife was asleep, in the wee hours of Wednesday. Police said his wife, Rupali (also called Priya), woke up around 5 am and saw him hanging. Rahul had been uploading videos of Priya on Facebook, before allegedly committing suicide.

Rahul's father suspects foul play and has blamed Priya. While Oshiwara police have not ruled out foul play, prima facie they believe that it could be suicide due to some personal issues. Rahul had arrived in Mumbai about three months back. Police said he hailed from Jaipur and got married to Rupali last year in the month of November, and was addicted to alcohol, which is one of the reasons why both used to fight frequently.
