Chennai cops ready to help Goa police in Russian model’s death

CHENNAI: Three days after a Russian model and actress was found dead in her residence in Siolim, Goa, the Greater Chennai police said they would assist their Goan counterparts with any details of a case she had lodged with them two years ago.


The actress, Alexandra Djavi, 24, acted in Tamil film Kaanchana 3. In 2019, she had lodged a complaint against a photographer in Chennai for sexual harassment. The charge was that he sought sexual favours to click photos and the accused was arrested.

Djavi was found hanging in a room on Friday. While Goa police believe it to be a suicide, they are awaiting the post mortem report. A case was registered.
