The actress was playing the female lead in the Bengali TV serial, ‘Mon Mane Na’, and was found dead hanging from a ceiling fan. Two days after her death, Sagnik was arrested by Kolkata Police.

Her parents alleged that he was cheating their daughter financially and was also previously married. Dey’s father said that his daughter loved Sagnik very much and that Sagnik was very much dependent on Pallavi financially. Sagnik was also driving a luxurious car gifted to him by Pallavi. They also had three joint bank accounts.

Sagnik was the one who found the body hanging and informed the police and Pallavi’s parents. According to sources, the couple had a heated argument on Sunday morning.
