The roommate of broadcast professional and LGBTQ activist Joanna Paul, who allegedly killed herself on March 5, Brijesh Tiwari, has alleged that within 12 hours of her death, the housing society committee asked him to vacate the flat they were living in. The society is at Goregaon. However, the flat owner has denied the allegation.
Tiwari claimed that he was asked to leave as the flat`s agreement was with Paul. He said unable to find accommodation for himself, he moved in with a friend on Saturday and has some of Paul`s belongings with him as well. He alleged that he kept pleading with society members seeking time until he could arrange for homes for Paul`s five cats, but no one listened to him. After he vacated the flat, he gave the cats to a foster shelter at Karjat.
