Model hangs herself

Mumbai:  A 27-year-old model allegedly committed suicide Thursday by hanging herself from the ceiling of her residence in Andheri, where she was staying with her boyfriend, police said.

The victim, identified as Kamarjeet Kaur alias Neha, was reportedly staying with her boyfriend in a live-in relationship, police said.

"The model had come to Mumbai from Delhi just a day before Eid and was staying with her boyfriend Devraj," they said.
