A 32-year-old actress-model attempted suicide by consuming sleeping pills and later tried to hang herself from a ceiling fan on May 24 after discovering that her husband was already married and had children. Police sources reported that the model had informed her mother about her decision before taking the drastic step. Despite her mother`s continuous attempts to reach out to her, she did not answer the phone. Concerned, the mother contacted the Bangur Nagar police, alerting them about her daughter’s plight. Acting swiftly, the police rushed to the scene and promptly admitted the woman to the hospital, ultimately saving her life.
Subsequently, based on the her complaint, the police registered a case against Anuj Sinha, 44, a marine engineer, under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and arrested him. The woman, a resident of Delhi, had worked in numerous TV serials and albums and also owned a garments business. She had met Sinha through a social media app several years ago, and their friendship had eventually developed into an affair. They got married in March 2021 in a Hindu temple, as per an officer’s statement. The victim then relocated to Mumbai and began living with Sinha in a rented flat in Evershine Nagar, Malad West.
