Nafisa case: No evidence against Khanduja as yet

 Nafisa Joseph, Miss India 1997 who committed suicide on July 29
Mumbai: Although family members of former Miss India, Nafisa Joseph, who committed suicide on July 29, have blamed her fiance Gautam Khanduja for her extreme step, city police say their investigations have not reached to such a conclusion.

"It's all from the media that we are hearing such claims. But we are yet to reach to any conclusion on any abetment factor," Additional Commissioner, Parambir Singh told in Mumbai.

Singh said probe was still going on and all angles emerging in the case will be explored before reaching to a final conclusion.

The 1997 Miss India, who turned to video jockeying after a brief stint on the ramp, committed suicide at her apartment in suburban Versowa on July 29 by hanging to a ceiling fan.

She resorted to the extreme step reportedly after her fiance, Gautam Khanduja broke off their engagement as 'both were temperamentally a mismatch', police sources said.

Nafisa's mother, meanwhile, has held Gautam responsible for her daughter's suicide, saying the Mumbai-based businessman did not clarify on his divorce with earlier wife, which led to Nafisa going in a state of depression.

Additional Commissioner of Police, P Singh, however, said police has not come across any evidence suggesting that Nafisa had confided her intention to end life.

Meanwhile, a senior police official told that the probe might get a direction after statements of some important persons close to Nafisa are recorded in coming days.
