Sonika Simone Singh Chauhan (12 July 1989 – 29 April 2017) was an Indian actress, tv host, model and beauty pageant titleholder.

[3] Sonika sustained a fatal head injury in a car accident in the early hours of 29 April 2017.

Vikram initially denied that he was either speeding or under the influence of alcohol at a press conference,[4] but forensic reports have confirmed that he was driving at a speed of 100–110 km/h just seconds before the collision with a jewellery store and a flag post on Kolkata's Rashbehari Avenue.

Initially, Vikram was only booked under Section 304 A (death due to negligence) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

But after a massive public outcry, police added the non-bailable section 304 (culpable homicide) against the actor.
