Police have identified the deceased as Vishakha Kale, a resident of Gondhalenagar, who had performed in many folk art-based stage shows in the past.
“The deceased lived with her sister and parents. On Tuesday, her family members had gone out… when they returned, they found her hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen. Primary probe points to suicide,” said Senior Inspector Ramesh Sathe of Hadapsar police station.
