Following the request of VJ Chitra's mother, Chennai City Police Commissioner Maheshkumar Agarwal has ordered the transfer of VJ Chitra's suicide case to the central crime branch.

Chitra's mother and friends have raised many suspicions and speculations about Chitra's suicide. 

Meanwhile, in the RDO report submitted on December 31, dowry harassment angle was ruled out.

Chitra's husband Hemnath was also arrested by the RDO investigation for allegedly aiding the actress' suicide. Fraudulent charges were also registered against Hemnath.
