former Miss India, Nafisa Joseph, who was a television actress and presenter for
entertainment channel MTV, committed suicide in Bombay, police said.
The 25-year-old Joseph hanged herself at her home late Thursday in a suburb
of the country's entertainment and financial capital.
Joseph, who
captured the Miss India title in 1997, killed herself in her bedroom, police
said.
Former Miss India
and television anchor Nafisa Joseph, 25, committed suicide by hanging
herself from a ceiling fan at her home in Bombay, police said July 30,
2004. Joseph's mother told reporters the model ended her life after her
wedding planned for next month was called off. Joseph, who won the Miss
India crown in 1997, is seen browsing through Ismail Merchant's book 'My

Her
mother found her and took her to a nearby hospital but the beauty queen was
declared dead on arrival.
"Police are investigating the case and trying to find out the reason for
Nafisa to have taken such a step. She left no suicide note," assistant police
commissioner Arun Waluj told AFP.
One media report said she had had an argument with her boyfriend before
committing suicide.
Joseph was originally from the southern high-tech Indian city of
Bangalore.
