TV actress Vaishali Thakkar died by suicide by hanging herself at her residence in Indore. A suicide note was also recovered from the spot, suggesting that she was stressed and harassed by her neighbor, businessman Rahul Navlani.
The actor had always wished to donate her eyes after her death. According to multiple reports, her family fulfilled her desire before her cremation on October 16.
Speaking to a news portal, Vishali's brother said,
"Vaishali loved her eyes and often said that she would like to donate her eyes after her death. She had said the same to her mother as well. Before her cremation on Sunday, the family donated her eyes to the district health authorities so that someone else could see this world with her beautiful eyes."
In her suicide note, Vaishali had accused Rahul Navlani of torturing him physically and mentally, which Rahul¡¯s wife, Disha, supported him.
Rahul Navlani's lawyer told the media that the police asked for ten days¡¯ remand. Still, the court granted only four days (till October 24) as the accused is not registered under murder charges, but he is booked only under section 306.
The police were going to produce Rahul in court through video conferencing, but the police did not get permission from the competent court.
Nalani was arrested near Indore on Wednesday, an official said.
The Indore Commissioner of Police (CP), Harinarayan Chari Mishra, told ANI, "A reward of Rs 5000 and a lookout circular were issued against him at all the airports given the possibility of him running out of the country. Three teams of police were sent to different states to capture him. Today he was arrested near Indore".
Rahul is married and has two children, but due to his closeness with Vaishali, he was allegedly not letting Vaishali get married.
Rahul allegedly sent a personal photo of him with Vaishali to her fiancee Mitesh Gor to break the marriage, which was planned to take place in Indore itself on October 20.
Fed up with all this, the TV actress ended her life.
The Tejaji Nagar Police have booked Rahul Navlani and his wife Disha under sections 306 (Abetment of suicide) and 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly persuading the actor to kill herself.
The police arrested Rahul, and efforts are on to capture his wife, Disha.
Vaishali made her debut on the popular TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai in 2015. She has appeared recently in the movie "Rakshabandhan" opposite 'Bigg Boss' actor Nishant Malkani.
