Missing Haryana Model Found Dead In Canal, Throat Slit

Sonepat assistant commissioner of police (ACP), headquarters, Ajit Singh said that the body of Sheetal, also known as Simmy Chaudhry, was recovered from the canal, 60km from Panipat, with its throat slit. “We received information about the body of a woman in a canal and reached the spot. Investigation is underway,” he said.

The body was recovered a day after Sheetal’s sister, Neha, lodged a missing complaint at a police station in Panipat. In her complaint, Neha said Sheetal had left home for a music album shoot at Ahar village in Panipat on June 14 but never returned.

Neha alleged that Sheetal’s friend, identified as Sunil, also from Panipat, had reached the shooting venue and beaten her up. “Sunil had been mounting pressure on Sheetal to marry him, but she knew he was already married and a father of two children. She told me over video call that Sunil had assaulted her,” Neha said, adding thereafter her phone got disconnected and she was unreachable.
