The police on Wednesday arrested Rahul Navlani, the main accused in the alleged suicide of TV actress Vaishali Takkar, an official said. Earlier in the day, a reward of Rs. 5,000 was announced by the Indore police for information about Rahul, who has been accused of abetting the Sasural Simar Ka actress’ suicide. A lookout notice was also issued in his name.

Tejaji Nagar Police Station in-charge R D Kanwa told a news agency, “Rahul was trying to flee Indore but was nabbed before he could do so.’ He added that Rahul is currently being questioned.

Vaishali was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her house in Saibag Colony on Sunday. A case was registered under the Indian Penal Code Section 306 (abetment of suicide) against the actress’ neighbour and ex Rahul, officials said.

They said that a five-page suicide note was found, in which Vaishali wrote that Rahul was harassing her, while the actress’ family members alleged that Rahul was troubling her since he came to know about her plans to get married.
