Bollywood actress Shikha Joshi was found in a pool of blood after she slit her throat with a knife in her Versova flat (Mumbai).

Police on Thursday recorded statements of a cosmetic surgeon in connection with the ongoing probe, reports FirstPost.

The doctor told police that Shikha and her brother had demanded that he foot bills for breast implants replacement surgery in 2011 and had been filing criminal complaints against him when he refused.

In his statement, doctor said that Joshi had visited his clinic in Khar in 2006 to undergo a breast enhancement surgery.

He also said that Joshi then registered a case of molestation against him and the trial in that case is currently under way.

Joshi, who was last seen on the big screen in 'BA Pass' in 2013, died on May 16 in the home of a friend in Andheri after allegedly slashing her throat with a knife.

The police said that she had been depressed in the week leading up to her death due to being unable to find work.

A video clip recorded of Joshi in her dying moments allegedly mentions that the doctor and a few married men had been troubling her.
