Overview

  • On July 9, Rohatgi shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp chat in which she warned that daytime drug use could be fatal and suggested anti-ageing supplements might pose serious risks.
  • Social media users accused her of mocking Jariwala’s death and belittling mental health, labeling the remarks “vile,” “cruel” and “shameful.”
  • Sangram Singh dismissed divorce rumors by affirming he and Rohatgi remain inseparable following her heated messages to the journalist.
  • Mumbai police’s post-mortem report identified a sudden blood-pressure drop as a potential trigger for Jariwala’s June 27 cardiac arrest, and viscera samples are now in toxicology analysis.
  • Investigators have recorded statements from 14 people, including Jariwala’s husband Parag Tyagi, to determine whether unsupervised anti-ageing treatments or fasting for religious observances contributed to her death.
