Powai Hostage Case: Ruchita Jadhav’s Chilling Revelation
The Powai hostage case, which shocked Mumbai’s film industry, has taken a new turn. Actress Ruchita Jadhav—a key witness—disclosed that Rohit Arya, the accused, invited her to the same studio where he later held a crew member hostage. Her testimony hints at premeditated intent.
A Suspicious Invitation
In an exclusive interview, Jadhav told Times of India that Arya, posing as a filmmaker, contacted her for a “role discussion” at the Powai studio—days before the armed standoff.
“I found it strange—the studio wasn’t active then,” she said. “When I suggested a public place, he dodged the question. My instincts told me to avoid it.”
Her decision may have averted disaster. Arya later stormed the studio, taking a hostage at gunpoint in a 10-hour confrontation with Mumbai Police.
