Mumbai: A disturbing confession video of the 'BA Pass' actress has emerged, who was found dead at her rented apartment in city's plush Versova area.
Actress Shikha Joshi's last moments were shot by her landlady. In the video, Shikha can be seen in a pool of blood with the knife lying next to her.
Reportedly, the 10-year-old actress, who slit her throat, was still alive when neighbours and the landlady rushed in.
However, in a bid to prove herself innocent in the matter, the landlady decided to record Shikha's dying statement.
In the video Shikha is blaming a man named Dr. Sharma for her death.
Here are the excerpts from the video:
Bharti (Landlady) - Haan Shikha, Shikha, Shikha, Shikha, beta tell me why did you take this step?
Shikha - (feeble voice, as she tries to get up but slips on blood) I don't know.
Bharti - Shikha, say why did you do this?
Bharti - Shikha let it stay on your neck it will stem the flow of blood. (referring to a piece of cloth). Speak up Shikha, police will ask us. Why did you do all this? Whose mistake was it?
Shikha - Everybody's
Bharti - Everybody who?
Bharti - Whose fault is it? Say fast, we will tell their names to the cops.
Shikha - Dr Sharma.
Bharti - Dr Sharma? And?
Shikha - Married men.
Bharti - Married men? Who all?
Shikha - Many.
Bharti - Many? But who all?
Bharti - Shikha, place a handkerchief on the cut. Shikha, Shikha. (A third person, a woman's voice is heard. Camera angle changes. Bharti asks somebody to continue recording. A man checks Shikha)
Bharti - She says Dr Sharma and many other married men, who exploited her, are responsible for this.
According to police, in 2011 Shikha had alleged molestation by a doctor, who had done her breast implant surgery.
Joshi had got breast implant surgery done by the accused doctor in 2006 but after five years, she found a lump in her breast and visited the doctor again, the officer said. "She had accused the doctor of molesting her by touching her inappropriately," he added.
