After spending seven years in jail, Divya was granted bail by the Bombay High Court in June 2023.
Divya Pahuja, a 27-year-old model, who had recently secured bail after seven years in connection with the alleged fake encounter of Gurugram's most-wanted gangster, Sandeep Gadoli, was found shot dead in a Gurugram hotel on Wednesday.
Divya's association with the underworld began in 2016 when she was just 18 years old. The Mumbai police arrested her on charges of facilitating the alleged fake encounter of Sandeep Gadoli, her then-boyfriend and a dreaded gangster, in a hotel near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in 2016. The encounter, conducted by Haryana police, drew scrutiny, resulting in the arrest of several police officials and Divya, for allegedly revealing the gangster's whereabouts.
After spending seven years in jail, Divya was granted bail by the Bombay High Court in June 2023. The court cited her prolonged incarceration and the expected lengthy trial as grounds for her release.
