Singer Kalpana Raghavender refutes claims of alleged suicide attempt: ‘I just took tablets because I was unable to sleep’
Although Kalpana Raghavendar's statement follows the doctors' diagnosis of the incident being a drug overdose, her assertion is that it was not an attempt to end her life.

Singer, TV host and reality show contestant Kalpana Raghavendar was hospitalised after a suspected suicide attempt at her Hyderabad residence. After her husband was unable to reach her, he informed the apartment association, who then alerted the police, who broke down the door to find her unconscious. However, Kalpana has refuted claims of a suicide attempt, and has told the police that it was an overdose of sleeping pills that were taken to just fall asleep.
Kalpana told IANS, “I took eight tablets but was still unable to sleep. I took 10 more, and I fell unconscious. I don’t know what happened after that.”
The report filed by the KPHB police also suggested that Kalpana Raghavendar had an argument with her family, especially her daughter over her education choices. It is said that Kalpana wanted her daughter to move to Hyderabad for further studies, which wasn’t accepted by her.
