Bollywood actress, Ruksar Khan who has done some minor roles in movies and private events has passed away at the age of 21. As reported by Mid-Day, the actress was partying with her industry friends, Payal Banjara, Tauhid Ahmed and Sameer at Payal’s house.
They had mixed drug MD with Red Bull and partied till late. A police officer was quoted saying:
On Saturday morning, Payal developed severe stomach ache and she went to a clinic in Jogeshwari, assuming Ruksar was sleeping. In the evening, when Ruksar still wasn’t picking up calls, Payal called Tauhid and asked him to go check on her. Tauhid found Ruksar lying motionless. He called the police control room and 108 for an ambulance. When the cops and doctors arrived at the house, they found Ruksar dead. Her body was taken to Shatabdi Hospital for post-mortem. Prima facie, it seems to be a case of drug overdose. We are taking the statements of her friends and may file an FIR. We recovered several things from the house — bottles of Red Bull, as well as a few used and unused packets of MD, which we have sent to the lab for investigation.
However, Ruksar’s family suspects foul play in her death. The investigation is still on.
