Hyderabad YouTuber Bonu Komali Dies by Suicide After Sending Heartfelt Text to Mother

Hyderabad police are investigating the death of Bonu Komali, a 21-year-old BSc student and part-time YouTuber, whose body was discovered in her rented apartment in the Manikonda area on February 23, 2026. Hours before she was found, Komali sent an emotional text message to her mother, B Satya Varalakshmi, who works in Kuwait, expressing love and asking her mother to take care of her younger brother.

According to police and media reports, Komali had been living alone in Hyderabad for nearly 11 months while pursuing her degree at a private college and creating lifestyle and personal content for YouTube. Her mother received the message in the early hours of the day and, when subsequent calls went unanswered, she asked a friend to check on her daughter. When the friend could not get a response at the flat, law enforcement officers were called.

Around 3 pm, authorities gained entry after breaking the latch on the door. Inside, Komali was found hanging from a ceiling fan, with a ladder and a saree recovered at the scene. The body was taken to Osmania General Hospital for post-mortem examination, and police registered a case of suspicious death to understand the exact circumstances leading to her death.
