A third model was on Friday found dead in mysterious conditions in a matter of little more than a week.
Model-cum-small time television actress Manjushri Neyogi was found hanging from the ceiling fan of her room at Patuli area in the southern fringes of Kolkata just a couple of days after her friend and co-model Bidisha De Majumdar was found dead in similar circumstances at her Dum Dum flat in northern Kolkata.
Though the reason of the death was not clear family sources did not rule out suicide as she had been suffering from depression for quite some time. The mother of Neyogi who had married a few months ago told reporters that she had was suffering from depression and had attempted suicide earlier too.
“She looked depressed following her friend Bidisha’s death and was constantly talking about her since then,” the mother of the deceased said.
Little more than a week ago another actor-cum model Pallabi Dey had died in similar circumstances at her Garfa residence in South Kolkata.
“All these models had sufficient work in their hand which meant that they were not depressed due to professional reasons,” a colleague of De Majumdar said, adding that she could be in depression on account of her break-up with her boyfriend.
