I won’t stop till Gagan Gabru is put behind bars, says Divya Bhatnagar's friend Devoleena Bhattacharjee

Shreya Mukherjee (HINDUSTAN TIMES; December 19, 2020)

TV actor Divya Bhatnagar died due to Coronavirus complications on December 7 and since that day, her friend, actor Devoleena Bhattacharjee has been seeking justice for Divya, who she claims was “mentally and physically tortured” in her marriage. Devoleena says Divya’s husband Gagan Sethi aka Gagan Gabru needs to be punished for what he has done to Divya.

“Divya losing her life to Covid doesn’t mean the trauma she faced can be forgotten,” says Devoleena, adding, “I won’t stop till Gagan Gabru is put behind bars.”

Devoleena and Divya became friends while working on the TV show, Sawaare Sabke Sapne Preeto in 2011. To expose Gabru, the actor has been sharing chats, photos and voice recordings on social media highlighting the torture Divya went through. “It’s painful to see how not many in the industry are standing up for Divya. In fact, I know some of them who’ve said they don’t want to get into it. How can people be so cowardly and selfish?” she questions.

She goes on to add that Gagan made sure Divya stays away from her family and friends and only last year after Bhatnagar’s marriage, they started talking properly again. “Two months back, she told me they’re heading for a divorce. She filed a police complaint after Gagan visited her on Karwa Chauth and beat her up badly again,” she shares.

“Divya’s ordeal reinstates how much women suffer. Not saying men don’t, but the percentage of female victims is more,” Devoleena says.

When we reached out to Gagan, he refuted all the allegations. “Only me and my family know what we’re going through, I lost my wife, my image, my house. I’ve been trying to share my side of the story with proofs on social media but I’ve been called a criminal,” he says adding he isn’t aware of any police complaint against him.

Television actress Divya Bhatnagar, 36, who was hospitalized on November 26 following health complications, passed away on Monday at around 3 am after suffering a cardiac arrest. She also had pneumonia and had tested positive for Coronavirus. After her condition became critical, she was put on a ventilator.

Her brother Devashish Bhatnagar was inconsolable as he broke the news to us. He said, “We were hoping that she would recover. My mother is heartbroken. I have to stay strong for her. This is a very difficult time for us and the pain is unbearable.”

While he is currently busy with the paperwork, Devashish says he plans to file a case against his deceased sister’s estranged husband, Gagan aka Gabru. He says, “Gagan started torturing Divya physically and mentally soon after their marriage. She had written a note on November 7, in which she had stated that Gagan tortures and abuses her. We found the note in her cupboard yesterday. She had also approached the police and filed an NC on November 16 against him, following an episode of domestic abuse. I had told her to stay strong when I got to talk to her during her hospitalization.”
