Lethal mix of calmpose and hydrochloric acid found in Viveka's body during autopsy
There's a new twist to supermodel Viveka Babajee's death.
The police have learnt that poison has been found in her body during the autopsy examination conducted last evening.
"Five of Babajee's former boyfriends are being interrogated in connection with her death," said Senior Inspector Mangesh Pote of Khar police station. "We are probing the poison angle."
"We have found traces of a cocktail of hydrochloric acid and calmpose pills in Babajee's viscera," said sources at Cooper Hospital, Vile Parle. "The chemical mix is such that it can cause poisoning."
A doctor who conducted the procedure said Babajee could have consumed large doses of the lethal mix.
Samples of the viscera have been sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory at Kalina. The result is expected in six days.
Dr A Dhere of Cooper Hospital, however, refused to comment on the findings.
Who gave calmpose?
The police will interrogate the former model's boyfriends to check if they could provide any clues as to where the deceased had got the chemicals from.
"We also need to check if the calmpose pills were prescribed to her by any doctor," said a police source.
Calmpose is a scheduled drug which can be bought only with a doctor's prescription.
Police sources said they are trying to establish if Babajee and some of her friends consumed a scheduled drug like calmpose.
About Calmpose
Calmpose is used to treat anxiety. The medicine is used to calm a patient. It may be prescribed for patients who have trouble sleeping.
They are also trying to find out if Babajee was administered drugs by a friend, which possibly pushed her to kill herself.
Pushed to end life?
A forensic examination is also being conducted to ascertain if any other person entered Babajee's Khar apartment before her death.
"The forensic report will throw light on whether she committed suicide or whether some person present with her spurred her to do so," said a senior police officer.
"We are also trying to find out if she was able to destroy all glass items in the apartment on her own after consuming such lethal dose of poison."
Police found a photograph of her stock analyst boyfriend Gautam Vora that had been ripped into two in her apartment.
