Delhi air hostess death: Court dismisses bail application of Anissia Batra's in-laws

New Delhi: A Delhi court on Thursday dismissed the bail application of the in-laws of air hostess Anissia Batra, who allegedly committed suicide in Delhi. The accused have been taken into custody by the Investigating Officer (IO).

In July, a friend of the air hostess claimed that the victims's husband Mayank Singhvi had driven her to death. The friend further said that she had received a message from Anissia where she talked of killing herself saying that her husband has driven her to this stage.

Minutes before taking the extreme step, the 39-year-old air hostess had sent a text message to her husband, following which he rushed to the terrace. When he could not find Anissia on the terrace, he started looking around and was reportedly informed by a labourer working at an adjacent building that a woman had jumped off the terrace.

Anissia was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was declared dead by the doctors. The police had received a call from Max Hospital about the incident at 4.30 pm on July 13.

Members of the forensic team and police officials had conducted searches at the residence where the couple used to stay. They had also seized the bank account of Mayank.

Anissia was married for seven years and used to live with her husband at a residence in Panchsheel Park area near Hauz Khas in New Delhi.
