After being incommunicado for a long time, out of suspicion the maid rang door bell and did phone calls incessantly in the morning. She didnt respond and hence the maid alerted the neighbours who then called the police.

The 33 year old actress who is the youngest daughter of late sitarist Nikhil Bandyopadhyay, Arya had acted in LSD: Love Sex Aur Dhoka (2010) and other films apart from The Dirty Picture (2011). She had also done some modelling jobs for her livelihood in Mumbai. Her domestic help said she chose to be a alone most of the time.
