It came as a big shock to everyone when TV’s Gopi bahu aka Devoleena Bhattacharjee was among those who were questioned in connection with the kidnapping and murder of diamond merchant-builder, Rajeswar Kishorlal Udani.

The actress was questioned for several hours at the Ghatkopar police station on Saturday. According to reports and sources, Rajeswar was in touch with several women, including those from the glamour and entertainment industry. He was also reportedly a good friend of event manager and businessman Sachin Pawar, who is also Devoleena’s friend. It is being said that other members of the television and film fraternity might also be called for questioning, as the investigation moves further.

The statements of many people, including Devoleena, have been recorded so far. When BT reached out to Devoleena, she said, “Yes, I was questioned by the Ghatkopar police in connection with Rajeswar Udani’s murder case. It was a routine investigation, but I am home now and fine.”

According to reports, Rajeswar went missing from his office on November 28. On December 4, the police registered a kidnapping case after the family suspected foul play in his disappearance. The police found his decomposed body, stripped off all identification markers, in Nere village, Panvel, earlier last week. His family identified the body on Friday.
