Police also said that Sneha had sent messages through email and messaging apps to her close friends in the early hours of July 7. Her friends informed investigators that she had been disturbed and emotionally distressed for the past few months.

Family, friends question surveillance near Signature Bridge Sneha’s family and friends have expressed concerns about the surveillance infrastructure in the area.
A close friend of Sneha sent an email to reporters claiming that none of the CCTV cameras on the Signature Bridge or in the vicinity were operational when she was spotted there.
“Despite the Signature Bridge being a suicide-prone area, there is not a single CCTV camera that works on the bridge or in nearby areas,” she said.
“The bridge reportedly falls under the jurisdiction of 4-5 different police stations. Though cameras have been installed by these stations individually, none of them are functional,” she added.
The friend also highlighted that the only surveillance equipment in working condition is a speed detection camera that takes still photos of speeding vehicles but does not record video.
