Hyderabad: Veteran Telugu actor Ranganath was found dead at his home in Hyderabad's Kavadiguda area on Saturday evening, the police said.

"His family members tell us that he was feeling lonely and was under some kind of depression after his wife passed away a few years ago. We found a word 'destiny' written in his kitchen. We are investigating the matter," a police official said.

His maid came home in evening. However, as the door was closed sensing trouble, she called neighbours and his daughter who broke open the front door, police said.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chndrababu Naidu expressed his grief over the actor's demise.

Before entering into the world of cinema in 1969, Ranganath used to work with the Indian Railways.
