According to reports, Malaika’s mother, Joyce Polycarp, who was in the flat at the time of the incident, has shared key details with the Mumbai Police. Joyce was in the house when the incident took place. Joyce noticed Anil's slippers in the living room, prompting her to search for him on the balcony. However, when she couldn’t find him, she leaned over the railing and saw a commotion below. The building's watchman was shouting for help, and that’s when she realised something terrible had happened.
