BJP women front chief Chitra Vagh said that "Puja Chavan has committed suicide by jumping from the third story of building Heaven Park in Mahammad Wadi in Pune. Police have registered the case as an accidental death. There is a lot of evidence on her mobile. Police have got conversations from her mobile phone, in which, she was being asked to refrain from taking an extreme step and instructing to take over her mobile by the minister."
"Everybody has listened to the conversation as the audio clips have been viral. She alleged that police are not doing anything and keeping mum. "Family of Puja Chavan may be under pressure. I should not tell you that, police can register a crime suo motu in such cases. But, political will is more important.

Fadanvis wrote a letter to state DG
Devendra Fadanvis in a letter written to state police director general (DG) that, some audio clips have become viral on social media. His letter stated, "My office has received 12 such clips. I am sending a copy of those clips for you. Who are the people involved in that conversation, what is the real meaning of those dialogues,
whether Puja really committed suicide or she was forced to end her life are the questions arising from these clips? Suspicion is there about her death. I have to mention with regret that, the police are investigating the matter casually. Banjara community is alleging that the suicide by Puja or the chronology behind her step is extremely suspicious. Deep and comprehensive probe into these clips is very essential. The matter should be probed immediately and stringent action should be taken against culprits." Fadanvis asked DG to give justice to the girl who was extremely popular in Banjara community.
