Model commits suicide in Mumbai

A model allegedly committed suicide at her residence in suburban Goregaon in Mumbai, the police said on Friday. Rinki Chowdhary was found hanging by her friend in the kitchen at her residence in Vallabh Apartment on Thursday evening, Additional Commissioner of Police Ramrao Pawar said.

No suicide note was found and her boyfriend was being questioned, he said. According to the police, Chowdhary had gone to the kitchen while her companion was sitting in the hall.

"Since she did not return from the kitchen and was not responding, her boyfriend broke open the door and found her hanging," Pawar said, adding that further investigations are going on.
