She had also done some modelling assignments in Mumbai.
Her domestic help got suspicious as she did not respond to door bells and phone calls in the morning and informed the neighbours who called the police.
Arya Banerjee lived alone and kept to herself mostly, the domestic help said.
The police said that the body was sent for a forensic examination and a forensic team collected samples from her room.
