Priya Soni reveals Rahul Navlani sent morphed photos and videos to California-based software engineer Mitesh Gor who was to marry Vaishali Thakkar

NEW DELHI: Deceased Tv actor Vaishali Thakkar’s friend and co-worker model Priya Soni today revealed that her neighbour Rahul Navlani who was harassing the former for the last 2.5 years had sent edited and morphed images and videos to the California-based software engineer Mitesh Gor whom Vaishali was slated to marry in December this year.

According to media reports Vaishali was engaged to Mitesh Gor – his name appears in her suicide note and she has apologized to him, requesting her parents to convey her apology to Mitesh and the couple were scheduled to tie the knot in December.

However, according to Priya Soni, Rahul Navlani got some old photos and videos of them together and morphed and edited them to show that they were in intimate or compromising positions and sent them to Mitesh.

This created problems between Vaishali Thakkar and Mitesh and their relationship got strained, Priya revealed, which in turn caused immense mental trauma and harassment to Vaishali forcing her to take her life.

According to Priya Soni, Rahul Navlani was making deep fake videos using some old videos of Vaishali and himself.  He even edited their photographs and made morphed images to show that they were in “compromising” or “intimate positions” and thus creating a doubt in the mind of Vaishali’s friends and the man she was engaged to.

On Wednesday late evening, the Indore police arrested Rahul Navlani, the main accused in the alleged suicide of well-known TV actor Vaishali Thakkar, police officials said, adding that Rahul was on the verge of leaving Indore.

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra told media persons on Thursday that mobile phones and other devices which the accused was using were also seized after he was nabbed on Wednesday after some excellent groundwork by the Indore city police.

On Wednesday afternoon, a reward of Rs 5,000 was announced by the Indore police commissioner for information about Rahul Navlani and his wife Disha, accused of abetting the suicide of Thakkar (29), who was known for her role in serials like ‘Sasural Simar Ka’.

A lookout circular was also issued to all the concerned airports and transit points in the couple’s name.
