The actor was last seen in the Kangana Ranaut starrer ‘Rajjo’.

Actor Kritika Chaudhary, who was last seen in the Kangana Ranaut-starrer Rajjo, was found dead in her Andheri residence on 12 June. The Mumbai Police on today (10 July) arrested two persons in connection with the killing of 27-year-old struggling actress and model Kritika Chaudhary.

A senior police officer said,

We have arrested two persons in this case. They will be produced in a court.

With the arrest of the two persons, the police claimed to have cracked the case.

Initially, the police had registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR). But, after the postmortem report revealed that Chaudhary died due to serious head injury, a case under IPC section 302, for punishment of murder, was registered, the officer said.

Chaudhary, who hailed from Haridwar in Uttarakhand, had appeared in a small role in the Kangana Ranaut-starrer film Rajjo, which released in 2013. She had also worked in some TV serials, police said.

During the investigation in the case, the Amboli police had questioned Chaudhary's family members, friends, relatives as well as her acquaintances.

The police claimed that the watchman of the housing society, where Chaudhary lived, told them that he saw two men entering the premises with Chaudhary a few days before her body was found.The police then launched a search for the two men.

According to police sources, Chaudhary was married, but had separated from her husband.

Krutika got her break in the 2011 Ekta Kapoor soap Parichay-Nayee Zindagi Ke Sapno Ka, but reportedly was unhappy with how her role shaped up.
