A 21-year-old YouTuber from Visakhapatnam, known as Komali, took her own life in Hyderabad’s Chitrapuri colony. The tragic incident unfolded following a breakup with fellow YouTuber Nikhil Reddy, causing her immense emotional distress. Komali, a part-time YouTube content creator and student at Mallareddy University, had previously attempted suicide six months ago.
Komali’s family reported the incident to the police, shedding light on the heartbreaking situation. She had been romantically involved with Nikhil Reddy, also from Visakhapatnam, for three years before their relationship ended due to differences. Recent events leading up to her suicide included a phone call with Nikhil that resulted in an argument, prompting her to end her life when she was alone at home.
Known for her YouTube content on lifestyle and personal experiences, Komali gained popularity on social media. Her final video showcased her pilgrimage to Tirumala, which garnered significant attention. Following her family’s complaint, the Raidurgam police initiated an investigation involving family members, Nikhil, and other acquaintances to understand the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
In a separate incident in Hyderabad, a man named Shankar, aged 48 and hailing from Karnataka, was fatally stabbed near Bharatnagar flyover. Shankar, employed at a local hotel in Moosapet, became a victim of a suspected extramarital affair-related crime. Authorities have launched an inquiry into the murder, with the body undergoing postmortem examination.
