On January 2, Divya Pahuja was taken to Hotel City Point by five people and shot in the head inside room number 111 because she had allegedly been extorting money from the hotel owner, 56-year-old Abhijeet Singh, by blackmailing him with his “obscene pictures”, the Gurugram Police had said earlier.

So far, the police have arrested five people in connection with the murder: Abhijeet Singh, Hemraj, Om Prakash, Megha Phogat, who allegedly assisted in hiding the murder weapon and Pahuja’s belongings, and Balraj Gill, who allegedly disposed of the body.

Pahuja was in jail for over seven years for conspiring a “fake encounter” of her partner gangster Sandeep Gandoli in Mumbai with Gurugram Police and rival gang leader Virendra Kumar alias Binder Gujjar on February 6, 2016.

At the time of Gandoli’s killing, Gujjar was in prison but had hatched the plan with the help of his brother Manoj and roped in the former model. The Mumbai Police registered an FIR against five police personnel, Pahuja, her mother and others. The Bombay High Court granted bail to Pahuja in June last year.
