On Sunday, Gandhi Lalithkumar an assistant film director committed suicide by self immolation and his family have released videos and images from his cellphone implicating actress Nilani of refusing to marry him and driving him to take the extreme step. Nilani has since explained that though she had a relationship with Gandhi he used to inflict extreme torture on her physically by burning her body with cigarettes and that he was a womanizer.

Nilani has sent us an audio recording of a cellphone conversation she has with Gandhi who is daring her to go to the police and lodge complaints against him which he will face. During the call the police to come on the line via conference and he speaks quite disrespectively to them too. Gandhi had apparently been warned by the police not to harass NIlani but he had repeatedly done so and Nilani says on the day of the phone call she was forced to take her own life which would have orphaned her two children.
