Hyderabad: If some supportive people are found in the film industry, then opportunities are available quickly and career progress also takes place. Those people, who have helped in the initial days of one’s career, are never forgotten. But one actress turned out to be completely the opposite. She brutally murdered her friend who helped her build her career, and that too along with her lover. The body of the deceased was cut into more than 300 pieces and burnt. You must know who that actress is. Yes, this story is from 2008, when the actions of Maria Susraj, accused in the Neeraj Grover murder case, shook the entire film industry.
Neeraj Grover’s help and Maria’s ingratitude
Actress Mariya Suseraj from Kannada industry helped Neeraj Grover, who was a television executive and was trying to get opportunities in films and serials. Neeraj used to get him opportunities in serials and sometimes even spend money for his auditions. Neeraj had helped Marya when she was changing her apartment. But after that strange incidents happened. One day Neeraj suddenly disappeared. After that, efforts were made to find him for hours and days. Neeraj’s parents lodged a police complaint, and Marya was interrogated.
Truth of murder revealed
There were shocking revelations in the investigation. Maria Susraj was in a relationship with her boyfriend Lieutenant Jerome Mathew. Both of them were engaged, but Mathew could not tolerate at all that Neeraj was helping Marya. Mariah had said many times that Neeraj was the only person who liked her, but Neeraj had no feelings for her. One day, when Marya was changing her flat, Neeraj came to help her. During this time, Matthew came to Maria’s house, but when she rang the bell and did not open the door, he got angry and entered inside to break the door.
murder out of anger
Matthew pushed Maria and entered inside and saw that Neeraj was lying on the bed. He became even more angry and, ignoring Marya, brought a knife from the kitchen and stabbed Neeraj several times. Neeraj lost his life. After the murder, Maria started cleaning the room, as the entire room was stained with blood. He slowly cleaned the blood and changed the bedsheet and pillows. Maria and Mathew later had physical relations, while Neeraj’s body was kept separate.
cutting the dead body into 300 pieces and burning it
After this, both of them went to the shopping mall and bought knives, plastic bags and petrol. Neeraj’s body was cut into more than 300 pieces, taken to a deserted place and burnt. Initially, Marya tried to mislead the police by saying that Neeraj had left her flat on the night of 6th May. But gradually she accepted her crime and said that she along with her lover had killed Neeraj.
Story of police investigation and evidence
When Neeraj’s body was being burnt, Neeraj’s phone was still with him. A call came on the phone, which Marya picked up, and it provided strong evidence for the police. What was even more shocking was that the families of Maria and Mathew were more concerned about the fact that they had not been able to destroy the evidence, rather than whether they had murdered Neeraj.
punishment and justice
Maria was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment and Matthew to ten years’ imprisonment. This case will be remembered as a dark chapter in the film industry, in which an actress so brutally killed the man who was helping her partner.
