Mumbai: Mumbai-based artist Hema Upadhyay and her lawyer Harsh Bhambani have been found murdered -- the bodies, discovered in a drain a day ago, were identified this morning.
The two were reported missing since Friday.
The bodies -- bearing injuries, hands and feet tied, wrapped in plastic sheets and packed tight in cardboard boxes - were dumped in a drain in Kandivali suburb.
The Mumbai Police are questioning Hema's estranged husband, artist Chintan Upadhyay - against whom she had filed a harassment case -- and her domestic helps. Harsh Bhambani, 65, was representing her in the case.
The harassment case was filed two years ago. In her complaint to the police, Ms Upadhyay had accused Chintan Upadhyay of painting obscene sketches on the walls of her room in their Mumbai apartment.
She used photography and sculptural installations to explore personal identity, dislocation, nostalgia and gender.
