The viscera report of flight attendant Anissia Batra has pointed out that she was under the influence of alcohol when she allegedly committed suicide in July this year.

The Regional Forensic Science Laboratory in its report has confirmed 298mg/100ml quantity of alcohol in Batra's blood sample.

The Crime Branch has, however, emphasised that the findings of the report will make no difference in the investigation.

On July 13, the Delhi-based air hostess had allegedly jumped off the terrace of her house after a heated argument with her husband Mayank Singhvi.

Before her death, she had reportedly sent a message to her friend on WhatsApp, stating that she was allegedly locked up in a room by Singhvi. Batra had also asked her friend to inform the police about it. Subsequently, the police arrested Batra's husband.

Reacting, her brother Karan Batra said: “If alcohol content is found, here should be probe about who gave it to her and who had sent messages. It's being done to mislead media. Facts show she was trying to reach out for help.”

The daughter of a retired Major General working as a flight attendant with Lufthansa airlines allegedly committed suicide at her residence in South Delhi's Panchsheel Park. Family members stated that her husband Mayank Singhvi would thrash her forcing the girl to take the extreme step. The family had also complained to the police about the domestic violence she was facing at home.

Her husband was subsequently arrested. 

Former Miss India and actor Niharika Singh shared her #MeToo story on Friday in which she accused the husband of a female flight attendant, who allegedly committed suicide in July, of being a "sociopath" and "physically violent" when they were briefly engaged in 2011.

In the post, Singh said she had met Singhvi at a friend's birthday party.

"He was an investment banker and had nothing to do with film, which to me, was like a breath of fresh air. Within two months of meeting me, Mayank tattooed my name on his chest and told me that he was in love with me.

"I didn't feel the same way about him but he managed to get into my social circle and develop a bond with my family and friends who insisted 'I settle down'. In 2011, on my 29th birthday, he gave me a ring and asked me to marry him," Singh said.

She said, she found out later, that Singhvi "was a sociopath, and I broke off my engagement at the end of 2011".

"His ego was completely bruised and his anger was uncontrollable. Using casteist slurs, he got abusive and physically violent. I went to a friend's house to protect myself and left Mumbai soon after with a broken spirit," she said.

She also wrote about Singhvi creating a "false narrative" about her which hurt her more than the abuse.

"Mayank created a false narrative about me after I left that many of my friends chose to believe, which hurt even more than the abuse. I moved to Dehradun where my father lived, did vipassana and spent time on my own to heal," she said.

Without mentioning Batra's name, Singh said Singhvi's wife had contacted her days before she allegedly committed suicide.

"In June this year, I received a call from a woman who introduced herself as Mayank Singhvi's wife; the same man I was briefly engaged to, in 2011. She wanted to know my reasons for calling off the engagement.

"I told her my story. She confided in me that she's been abused right from the first week of their marriage and was trying to get out. We stayed in touch forming a kind of sisterhood. A few days later she was found dead in her marital home under mysterious circumstances. Mayank Singhvi was taken into judicial custody," Singh said.
