Anjali Alpesh Varmora had been working as a freelance model and was associated with some studios.

Speaking to ANI on Monday, Surat DCP Vijay Singh Gurjar said Anjali had recently shared her "emotional status". He said Anjali reportedly tried to contact her fiance before the incident.

Gurjar said, "Anjali died on the intervening night of June 7 and 8. Besides fashion shoots, she was also involved in textile and commercial modelling projects.

"The family said she was engaged and her wedding was scheduled for this year but had been postponed to next year following the death of her fiance's mother. Before taking the extreme step, Anjali reportedly tried to contact her fiance, who was unable to respond at the time. During the investigation, he said she did not appear to be under stress.

“Her family weren't home when the incident happened. Upon their return, they found the room locked from inside.

“Anjali had posted a few emotional status updates online, though they did not mention specific names.”
