A suicide note purportedly written by Satish found in his shirt pocket stated that he was “ending his life because his favourite hero Uday Kiran had committed suicide,” a senior police officer told PTI. Gajapathinagaram Police registered a case of death under relevant sections of the CrPC and took up further investigation. Uday Kiran (33), allegedly committed suicide at his flat in Hyderabad on 5 January, apparently after film offers dried up of late, pushing him into mental depression and financial crisis.
