NEW DELHI: Police are conducting a widespread search to find the dead body of a 27-year-old model who was murdered in a hotel room in Gurugram. Model Divya Pahuja was killed in the hotel named City Point. Police said that Abhijit Singh, the owner of the hotel, was behind the murder. After the murder, Abhijit Singh and his accomplices dragged the body into a BMW car and later abandoned the body at an undisclosed place. The police are conducting a search to find the accused.

The entire incident has been captured on CCTV. Abhijit, the woman and another person reached the hotel reception on January 2 and went to room number 111. The CCTV footage also showed Abhijit and others dragging Divya's body into the car after wrapping it in a sheet later that night. Based on the footage, the Gurugram police registered a case and launched an investigation.

Divya Pahuja was the main accused in the gang leader Sandeep Gadoli's encounter case in Mumbai in 2016. Divya was the girlfriend of Sandeep Gadoli. Divya, her mother and five police officers had been booked for killing Gadoli in a fake encounter at a hotel in Mumbai on February 6, 2016. It was alleged that Divya had leaked the information to the police. Subsequently, a case was registered against Divya. Divya, who was sentenced to 7 years in prison, was granted bail by the Bombay High Court in June last year.

Meanwhile, Divya's family alleged that Sandeep Gadoli's sister Sudesh Kataria and brother Brahmaprakash carried out the murder with the help of Abhijit.
