Mumbai police records statement of Malaika’s mother in connection with stepfather’s `suicide’

Mumbai, Sept 13: Mumbai Police on Thursday recorded a statement of Joyce, actor-model Malaika Arora’s mother, in connection with the alleged suicide of Malaika’s stepfather Anil Mehta.

Anil Mehta (62) allegedly jumped off the sixth floor of the building `Ayesha Manor’ in upscale Bandra (West) on Wednesday morning, as per the police.

His wife and Malaika’s mother Joyce was in the flat when the incident took place, an official said.

Joyce in her statement told police that she saw Anil’s slippers in the room and started looking for him before she heard the building’s watchman shouting for help, and looked down from the balcony, he said.

Mehta was found lying in a pool of blood on the building’s premises.

Police will also record the statements of Malaika and her sister Amrita Arora besides the watchman and eye-witnesses in a day or two, the official said.

As per the initial autopsy report, Anil Mehta died due to multiple injuries to the head and other organs, he said. (PTI)
