Arya lived in an apartment in Jodhpur Park, South Kolkata. She resided along with just her pet. Her house help had called the police after Arya was not answering the door. Post which, the cops broke into her house and found her dead on the bed convered in blood and vomit. An official further said, “The maid, Chandana Das, came to her place and tried to call her on both her numbers. One of her phones was switched off while the other went unanswered despite several attempts. After getting no response, the domestic help got suspicious as she did not respond to door bells and phone calls. The maid then informed her neighbours about the incident who also tried calling Banerjee for some time and later informed the local police station. We are investigating the matter.”

Arya’s real name was Devdatta Banerjee. She had made her debut in Bollywood with ‘Love Sex Aur Dhoka’ and later went on to star in Milan Luthria’s ‘The Dirty Picture’.
