Bengali actress Arya Banerjee was found dead in her bedroom in the early morning at her Kolkota residence.

Her domestic help had arrived in the morning and were continuously knocking her door receiving no answer from the other side. After waiting for several minutes, the domestic help called her cellphone getting no answer. Their concerns started to slightly grow.

They reported the incident to the watchman of her resident. After thoroughly checking CCTV footage, there was no sign of her leaving the resident during the night. The domestic helpers suspicions and concerns were constantly adding up.

After a few hours of no answer from the late actresses residence, the helpers decided to call the police. When Police officials arrived at the house, there was still no answer. Fearing danger on the other side, they broke open the door of her third floor apartment and found the body of the 33 year old actress lying in the bedroom.

According to reports, one of the sources, Arya, also known as Devdutta stated that the actress was alone in her house in Kolkata’s Jodhpur Park.

Police officials stated that there were slight traces of possible vomiting from food. She was found lying on the floor with her face down. Police officials also stated that there were a few blood droplets on the floor as well.

A senior police officer of the Lake Police station stated that there was no primary foul play at the crime scene which seemed evident at the moment. The exact cause of her death will be revealed when the post-mortem report reaches the police station said the officer.

Arya was the daughter of the late sitarist Nikhil Bandhyopadhyay. She started her career by doing some modelling jobs in Mumbai. She featured in critically acclaimed films including “LSD: Love Sex Aur Dhoka” (2010) and “The Dirty Picture” (2011).

After featuring films she resumed doing a few modelling jobs and advertisements.

The domestic help stated that Arya lived alone and was very reserved. She kept to herself most of the time but she was very kind and compassionate to all her workers. They also stated that they did not know if she had any romantic partners because she never bought any in the recent times to her home. But since the helpers leave around 7pm, they weren't completely sure about her personal life. They only saw her bringing in work related clients or friends over occasionally.

The domestic helpers also stated that the day before her death she seemed to be her normal self and they did not observe in change in behaviour or anything suspicious.

Her body has been sent for the post-mortem examination. Forensics team has visited her residence to collect samples. The cause of her death will be revealed soon.
