Mumbai, Dec 13, 2015: Bodies of artist Hema Upadhyay and her lawyer Harsh Bhambani were found in a drain in Mumbai’s Kandivali suburb packed in cardboard boxes.

The bodies, wrapped in plastic sheets, were found yesterday and identified today. The Mumbai Police also questioned Hema’s estranged husband Chintan Upadhyay and her servants.

 

The 65-year-old lawyer had represented Hema, 43, in a harassment case that she had filed in 2013 against Chintan. The two were reported missing since Friday.

In her complaint, she had accused him of painting obscene sketches on the walls of her room in their Mumbai apartment.

The couple got married in 1998. They filed for divorce in 2010.
