Divya Pahuja murder case: Luxury car used for disposing of body recovered in Patiala

Patiala: Punjab police have recovered a luxury car from Patiala that was allegedly used to dispose of body of 27-year-old former model Divya Pahuja, officials said on Thursday. However, officials added that the body is still missing.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (crime) Vijay Pratap Singh said they have identified two more suspects — Balraj Gill and Ravi Bandra. “They were friends with the main suspect and were called by him to dispose of the body. They are still on the run."

The official added that the car did not contain Pahuja’s body but did have several bloodstains and the forensic teams have collected evidence, and the Gurugram police have been informed about the development.

Patiala deputy superintendent of police, Sukhamrit Singh Randhawa said that the Gurugram police on Wednesday had intimated a search operation to trace the BMW — which bears Delhi registration numbers — after CCTV footage of various toll plazas indicated that the car had entered Patiala district.

Divya, a resident of Baldev Nagar in Gurugram's Sector-7 was out on bail after spending seven years in custody for having connection with Gadoli's death. The ex-model was killed on Tuesday by a city-based hotelier named Abhijeet Singh, whom she had been reportedly blackmailing since her release.

On Wednesday, officials revealed that they have arrested three people in connection with the murder-Singh (56), Hemraj (28) and Om Prakash (23).
