Lanson Toyota's joint MD Reeta Lankalingam found dead at her Chennai residence

As Reeta did not come out for breakfast on Thursday morning and did not respond to the knocks on her bedroom door, the maids informed supervisor Yesupatham," said Teynampet assistant commissioner V Muthuvel Pandi. Yesupatham broke the bedroom door and found Reeta hanging from the ceiling. The police were informed and the body was sent to the GH for postmortem. Police say there was no suicide note in the room. However, a preliminary probe suggests there was ongoing tension in the company about the slowdown in the automobile sector. The couple also allegedly had 'arguments' over the sale of company shares. Police suspect these could have been a reason for the suicide. Reeta's husband was out of town on Wednesday. He returned on Thursday, hearing the news of his wife's death. They have a daughter and a son who live elsewhere. The Lanson Group is a $100 million business conglomerate with origins in Thoothukudi and business interests in food manufacturing, exports and biotechnology.
