Divya Pahuja loved to live life in the fast lane: Slain model’s former “colleague” Rayya Labib reveals chilling details
NEW DELHI: Actor Rayya Labib while reacting to the murder of ex-model Divya Pahuja claimed that Pahuja loved to live life in the fast lane and she was arrogant, hot-headed and would snap at others at the drop of a hat.
“While we were struggling for work and shoots, she wanted to make it big at any cost and mint money even if it meant crossing the yellow line,” Rayya who had worked on some modeling assignments with Pahuja in Delhi about eight years ago, said. Pahuja was a model before she was arrested for her involvement in the murder of a gangster, who was killed by the Haryana police in Mumbai in a fake encounter, at the behest of another rival gangster.
Former model and murder accused Divya Pahuja was found dead in a Gurugram hotel on Tuesday (January 2). CCTV footage from the hotel’s surveillance system where the model was allegedly killed showed the suspects, including the hotel owner, dragging the body before stuffing it in the trunk of a BMW car.
According to media reports, the former model was found dead, allegedly killed by a Gurugram hotel owner Abhijeet Singh. CCTV grabs captured disturbing scenes as the suspects dragged her body and dumped it in a BMW car before fleeing.
Divya was the girlfriend of slain gangster Sandeep Gadoli, who was killed in a controversial encounter in 2016 in a hotel in Mumbai. Divya was the prime accused in the case, along with her mother and some Haryana cops, was granted bail by the Bombay High Court after spending nearly seven years in prison. Divya’s parents and family have claimed it’s Gadoli’s men who committed the crime as revenge, but hotelier Abhijeet Singh who was arrested told the cops during investigation that Divya was extorting money from him and he killed her in a fit of rage, after a fight regarding some personal photos, which Divya was blackmailing him with and extorting money from him.
Rayya has claimed that Divya was a wild one and would do anything to make money. “The allegations of extortion against her by the hotel owner are quite possible and it’s not surprising that she got into trouble again within months of being released from Byculla jail in Mumbai after seven years,” Rayya told this website.
