SC: Telugu Actress Pratyusha Died From Poisoning, Not Strangulation

• Supreme Court affirms Telugu actress Pratyusha's death was due to organophosphate poisoning, rejecting manual strangulation theory.
• Court upholds Gudipalli Siddhartha Reddy's conviction for abetment of suicide under Section 306 IPC.
• Deceased herself informed doctors of pesticide consumption; initial postmortem report on strangulation deemed 'wholly unsustainable'.
• Expert committees (state government, AIIMS) confirmed organophosphate poisoning and found no evidence of strangulation or sexual assault.
• SC dismisses appeals by accused and deceased's mother, maintaining Andhra Pradesh High Court's reduced sentence of two years with enhanced fine.
