A model plunged 150ft to her death from a luxury apartment block after splitting up with her married boyfriend.

Sahar Daftary, 24, fell from the 12th floor of a building in Salford Quays, Manchester, over the weekend.

The former Face of Asia winner is understood to have been to the flat to collect her belongings after her relationship broke down with her boyfriend – a property developer who has not been named – over the summer.

The boyfriend was arrested and interviewed by police before being bailed.

Her friend, Afrah Sami, said: ‘We are all shocked and devastated. Sahar was very beautiful – she loved life and she was always the centre of the party.

‘She met him (the boyfriend) in Manchester and they were very happy. Then she won the Face of Asia competition and got several big contracts. She seemed to have the world at her feet.

‘But she discovered that he was married and became very unhappy.

‘The stress changed her and she had stopped eating properly.

‘When she came up on Saturday she was very distracted and preoccupied with collecting her things from the apartment, but he didn’t want to see her.’

Police confirmed that the boyfriend rang 999 saying he needed help. He gave a home address and the address in Salford but there was confusion as to where the man was.

Officers rang his mobile but there was no reply. He later rang police to say she was dead.

Sahar had travelled up to Manchester for a fashion show at the Nawab restaurant, but left during the preparations.

It was also claimed a pornographic film featuring Sahar had been posted on the Internet which was linked to the break-up.

Friends say the couple had held a ceremony last year where Sahar had declared her love for him, but she later discovered he was already married and had a child.

One police source said: ‘Witnesses have said there was no shouting or ranting – just a single scream. It is being looked at as either suicide or a horrible accident.’

[ UPDATE ]

It wasn’t suicide, says family of Miss Asia model who fell 150ft to her death after split with lover

Her brother-in-law Joe Karim said: ‘She would never commit suicide. It was against everything she believed in. She had everything to live for. She was a beautiful, intelligent, religious woman, why would she kill herself ?’

A statement on behalf of Ms Daftary’s family reads: ‘The family are devastated at the tragic loss of Sahar.

"She had booked a flight to Dubai to celebrate her 24th birthday on Christmas Day with five friends. We firmly believe there is no way she would have committed suicide."

Her family’s discontent over the suicide claim arise from her unhappy relationship with property developer Rashid Jamil.

The two "married" in a Muslim ceremony in Brentford last December, but Ms Daftary walked out after discovering he was married and his wife had given birth only months before.

    I was on my way to work this morning, when I read the very sad story about this poor girl’s fate. It really is upsetting that some men do not seem to realise how devastasting it could be for women to find out that the man they adore has lied. This is not about the consequences of “having the world underneath your feet” as Allahu Akbar has noted. It is about lies and being used and feeling that you have been taken for a ride. I went through a similar situation with a man I adored. I told him on our first date that I would not want to get involved with a man who was already involved with another woman. He kept swearing that there was no other woman in his life. He insisted that he would be in my life for ever and that he would never leave me. After six months, I found out that he was married to an East European woman for 6 years. When I confronted him about it, he said that his family and friends did not know! I was completely devastated. Something inside me died. I contemplated ending my life but the love of my mother kept me going. Three years on, I am still unable to form a relationship because I have lost trust in men. I don’t underestand how anyone could lie about such an important issue. I pray for Sahar and her family. May her soul find peace. Also, may this be a lesson for all those Asian men, especially Iranian men who keep their East European marriages a secret and for what!

    Just for information:

    She was an Afghan.

    Persian girl, if this guy loved you or had respect for your feelings, he would have been back long ago and he wouldn’t have lied in the first place. You need to learn that he loves his wife and doesn’t want to lose her. Go out and find new friends.

    Such a loss. No man is worth to die for and I feel sorry for her family and friends. I hope the man gets what he deserves in this life.
