New man in Kamasutra model Viveka Babajee?s suicide case

Mumbai : Model Viveka Babajee?s suicide case has taken a new turn with her family coming to know of a ?new man? called Adit in her life.

Former Miss Mauritius and model Viveka, who had appeared in a Kamasutra condom advertisement in the 1990s, was found dead, in a suspected case of suicide, at her apartment here on the night of June 25.

On the day of her death, in a message sent to her on Facebook, her boyfriend Gautam Vora had mentioned, ?Adit and myself have been trying to call u to see if you are ok, please acknowledge, even if with a simple ?yes? as a reply to this. Your phone is off. We are worried. Please get in touch asap.?

Viveka?s family spokesperson Dale Bhagwagar has revealed that the Babajee family has requested the Police to find out who ?Adit? is and if he should also be questioned, or undergo the DNA tests recently conducted on Gautam Vora and Viveka?s ex-business partner Kartik Jobanputra.

?The family has taken up the matter with the Police and are awaiting the investigations to get over for further course of action,? stated Bhagwagar.

The DNA tests were conducted on Vora and Jobanputra after reports from the forensic department, stating that human DNA was found under the fingernails of the supermodel whose body was discovered four months ago under mysterious circumstances; hanging from a ceiling fan in her house.

A few hours before her body was discovered, a harried Viveka was reported to have called her friend Tina Chatwal, a Delhi-based model.

?Since Tina was said to be one of the two persons Viveka called before her demise, her family is also keen to know if Tina?s statements have been recorded,? said Bhagwagar.

In his statement to the Police and Court, Viveka?s boyfriend Gautam Vora (who was said to be the last person to have visited her, the night before the incident), denied a relationship with the supermodel, claiming she was ?just a friend?.

The Babajee family had alleged that Vora had lied about his relationship with Viveka to the Police as well as the Court, and through their spokesperson Bhagwagar, released seven photographs of Gautam with Viveka, which proved beyond doubt that the couple were in a serious relationship.

?A few weeks ago, Viveka?s mother, Mrs Dayawanti Babajee, returned to Mauritus (her homeland) with a heavy heart. The family wants the truth to prevail.

?They want Viveka ex-boyfriend Gautam Vora to confess to the Police about what exactly happened in the last meeting on the fateful night before the incident, because it seems to them that there is much more than what meet the eye about the death of Viveka Babajee,? added Bhagwagar.

On June 25 night, Viveka apparently committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling fan in the hall of her Continental Building flat in Bandra (West) in Mumbai, police said.

Her neighbours had called in the police suspected a gas leak in her flat and Viveka was found dead when police forced way into her flat.

Viveka, 37, had tried to get a foothold in Bollywood. Her most famous appearance on screen was for an advertisement for Kamasutra brand condoms.

She had also acted in a few films, but those were highly forgettable roles.

In recent years, she had set up an event management and fashion choreography firm, but was not doing well financially.
