Sources report that Joyce, Malaika’s mother, informed the police that Anil Mehta had a routine of sitting on the balcony to read newspapers every morning. Although they were divorced, Joyce mentioned that they had been living together again for the past few years. On Wednesday morning, Joyce noticed Anil’s slippers in the living room but could not find him on the balcony. Looking over the edge, she saw the building watchman shouting for help. Joyce also clarified to the police that Anil Mehta had no known illness.
