Former Model Divya Pahuja’s Body Found in Bhakra Canal; Police Uncover Grisly Details of the Crime

In a chilling turn of events, more than 10 days after former model Divya Pahuja was shot dead in a Gurugram hotel, her body was discovered in Bhakra canal in Haryana’s Tohana on Saturday. Gurgaon police revealed that the body had been disposed of in the canal in Punjab’s Moonak area.

Pahuja, aged 27, was murdered on January 2, adding a tragic chapter to her tumultuous life. She had been released on bail over five months ago in connection with the alleged fake encounter of a Haryana-based gangster in a Mumbai hotel room back in 2016.

The search for Pahuja’s body had been ongoing for over a week, but it gained momentum after the arrest of accused Balraj Gill, a lawyer at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, who divulged information on the body’s disposal in Bhakra canal.

“We were informed by the local teams that the body was found around 10 am on Saturday, and they are still recovering the body from the canal. It was an extensive operation stretching over 150-200 km of area as we routed each district and canal flow and deployed several teams in each region through which the canal flows,” said Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime) Varun Dahiya. The body will undergo a postmortem examination in Fatehabad.

The investigation revealed that Balraj Gill, a resident of Panchkula Sector 5, and Ravi Banga, a resident of Gurudwara Road, Model Town in Hisar, were involved in Pahuja’s murder. The main accused, Abhijeet Singh, had allegedly directed Gill and Banga to dispose of the body.

Five people have been arrested in connection with the case so far. This includes Abhijeet Singh, the owner of City Point Hotel in Sector 14 where the murder occurred; hotel staff Omprakash and Hemraj, who allegedly aided Singh in moving the body; Megha, who allegedly assisted Singh in disposing of the body; and Balraj Gill, who was apprehended at Kolkata airport on Thursday evening.

The revelation of Divya Pahuja‘s body being discarded in a canal paints a grim picture, unveiling the tragic and heinous details surrounding her untimely demise. As the investigation unfolds, the quest for justice for Pahuja continues, shedding light on the dark underbelly of the circumstances surrounding her murder.
