The Sheena Bora murder case has gripped the entire nation with all its twists and turns. But this isn't the first time that a spine-chilling crime involving a celebrity from the entertainment industry has made headlines.

Here are some other cases involving Bollywood and TV celebrities:

Neeraj Grover murder case

Grover who was a television executive working for Synergy Adlabs was murdered in 2008. After investigations, it was revealed that a small-time actress Maria Susairaj along with her lover, naval officer Emile Jerome Mathew had murdered Neeraj.

Apparently Neeraj was helping Maria land roles in television soaps, besides shifting to a new house.

Mathew who was Susairaj's fiancee, suspected that Neeraj was living with her which infuriated him. He ended up stabbing Neeraj with a knife from Maria's kitchen. Later the betrothed couple allegedly hacked his body to pieces, packed it in a bag and set fire to it.

Gulshan Kumar murder case

The T-series music baron and film producer Gulshan Kumar was shot dead in broad daylight outside an Andheri temple by two men who pumped numerous bullets into his body.

Nadeem, of the popular music composer duo Nadeem-Shravan, was accused of plotting the murder. After investigations the Mumbai Police Crime Branch alleged that Nadeem had planned the murder in Dubai with Dawood's brother Anees Ibrahim Kaskar. Nadeem presently resides in London.

Brij Sadanah killing spree and suicide

Kamal Sadanah's (Bollywood actor) father Brij Sadanah, who was a successful filmmaker in the 1970s, killed his wife and daughter in a fit of rage at their Bandra residence in Mumbai .

Kamal was also shot at but he survived. The father then committed suicide on the same night. This entire episode sadly took place on Kamal Sadanah's birthday, when the entire family was wiped out.

Sandhya Singh murder case

Sandhya Singh who was the sister of Bollywood music composers duo Jatin-Lalit had gone missing in December 2012. Days later her body was found in the marshes in Navi Mumbai, close to her residence.

After investigations, it was discovered that her son Raghuveer was behind the murder and was arrested. He used to have frequent fights with his mother and was also a drug addict.

Divya Bharti's 'controversial' death

Known Bollywood actress and model Divya Bharti who was married to producer Sajid Nadiadwala, fell to her death from her five-story apartment building in Versova, Mumbai in 1993.

Following her death there was much speculation by the media regarding Bharti's sudden demise, including the possibility of accidental death, conspiracy and even murder.

Even after the investigations, the Mumbai Police failed to find any evidence against Nadiadwala. He was never charged for murder and the case was closed in 1998, labelling it as an accidental death.
