A 23-year-old model from Surat, Anjali Varmora, died by suicide on Sunday. She lived in the Athwa area and reportedly hanged herself with a cotton cloth. Police reached the spot after getting the information, started an investigation, and sent the body for postmortem. Her mobile phone and personal items are being checked. It is still unclear whether a suicide note was found.
This incident comes shortly after another similar case in Surat. A 19-year-old model named Sukhpreet Lakhwinder Singh Kaur, who had come to stay with her cousin in the Saroli area, also ended her life. She was from Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, and had arrived in Surat just a few days earlier. She hanged herself with a dupatta from a ceiling fan in her cousin’s room.
Police found that a man named Mahendra Rajput was allegedly blackmailing, mentally harassing, and physically assaulting Sukhpreet. A case has been filed against him, and further legal action is being taken.
