Mumbai: With every passing day, new and shocking revelations have been surfacing in the Marathi actress Alka Punewar's staged disappearance case.

In a recent development, the actress told that the plan of her staged death which included smashing of her own car was derived from a novel she had recently read.

In the novel, the car falls into a narrow valley and the dead body is taken by wild animals. Alka thought that the concept can be applied in real life and the police who will come looking for her will think on the same lines.
