Actress Vijayalakshmi, who is famous for having acted in several Tamil movies, attempted suicide on Sunday allegedly over social media bullying and online abuse. She was immediately hospitalised following which she was reported to have been stable on Monday morning.
She had posted a Facebook video on Sunday claiming that she had continuously been harassed by followers of Seeman and Hari Nadar online, resulting in her taking the extreme step. She also demanded their arrest for subjecting her to online bullying and harassment. She had added in the video that she had ingested pills that would cause her death.
Her Facebook video said, “This is my last video. I have been under extreme stress in the last four months because of Seeman and his party men. I tried my best to survive for my family. I have been humiliated by Hari Nadar in the media. I have consumed BP tablets. In some time my BP will become low, and I will be dead”, as reported by India Today.
Seeman is the leader of Naam Tamilar Katchi, Tamil nationalist political party having presence in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Hari Nadar belongs to the political outfit Panankattu Padai and had recently contested in the Nanguneri by-election in Tamil Nadu.
