Mumbai: Three days after the former supermodel Viveka Babaji was found hanging at her apartment in Bandra, Gautam Vohra, her alleged boyfriend has moved sessions court in Mumbai for an anticipatory bail.
The move comes after he was summoned by the police for questioning after a diary was recovered from the dead model's house which reportedly had words written – 'you killed me Gautam Vohra.' The hearing on the bail plea is expected to take place at 2:30 pm on Monday.
In his plea, Vora says he was not Viveka's boyfriend, but a friend. He claims Viveka was suffering from depression and that she was upset and smoking a lot the last time he saw her. On Friday evening hours before her death. He claims she spoke to him about a broken relationship and financial losses.
Meanwhile Viveka was cremated today. Her autopsy report confirms she committed suicide by hanging herself in her Mumbai flat.
The former Miss Mauritius had apparently committed suicide at her Mumbai apartment on Friday. The police are also waiting for the visceral report which would determine if she consumed poison or drugs. It is expected in a couple of weeks.
At the moment, the they have registered a case and are gathering circumstantial evidence. They are also in the process of recording statements of the dead model's friends and relatives.
Sources in Mumbai Police say that they are not yet considering Vohra as an accused. They say that it is too early to point fingers at anyone.
Viveka's neighbours have told police that they heard her having a row with somebody. The police suspect that the model might have taken the extreme step after a split with her boyfriend.
Vohra's mother apparently told the media, off record, that her son was not having an affair with Viveka Babajee and that Gautam Vohra and the model were just good friends.
The relatives and family members of Viveka turned up at the hospital on Monday to take possession of her body. They are expected to conduct her funeral today.
