Neighbours have paid tribute to a Bollywood film worker and his ‘beautiful’ partner who died at their west London home after allegedly taking a mystery green pill.

The couple, who have been named locally as Gagan Brar and Kamaldeep Kaur, were found unresponsive in their bedroom by their flatmates at their flat in Havelock Road, Southall, on bank holiday Monday. 

Ambulances and police were called to the scene but they were unable to save them. 

The pills were obtained while the couple were out clubbing in south London the day before, police believe. 

Metro can reveal that the 28-year-old Gagan was a driver for celebrities in the Bollywood film industry in London and is originally from India. 

He and his partner Kamaldeep, 20, were described as a ‘beautiful hard working couple’ by locals. 

A father of three, who is a neighbour at the Southall flats where the couple rented, told Metro: ‘To me they were a clean-cut, hardworking couple who left early in the morning and were ambitious. They were a pleasure to be around.

‘He worked in the Indian film industry as part of the crew and was working his way up. He was from a good family and they couple had their whole lives ahead of them.

‘It’s a total shock – if something like this can happen to them it can happen to anyone. They were the perfect couple just enjoying life.’ 

He added: ‘It was horrific on the day they were found. I think they had been out with the flatmates the night before. They wondered why the couple had it got up the next day originally thinking they were just having a lay in. Then one went in their bedroom and found them. 

‘The flatmates were in total shock. Loads of police ambulances came. One of the flatmates was vomiting, it was just terrible.

‘People need to be aware of what they are taking. I can say honestly this was not a hard-drinking, drug-taking couple. They were just enjoying London life and trying to get ahead.’

Another neighbour told Metro the cricket-loving couple were ‘just the nicest people you could meet’.

He said: ‘The guy drove Bollywood celebrities around and was on the crew, he had a bright future ahead of him. His partner was a beautiful, hard-working person.

‘We used to meet up with them in the garden. We watched some of the cricket World Cup together. They were great company and lived with three good friends. They were just great people. His parents came to stay at one point. Very nice people – they will be devastated.’ 

A Met Police statement said: ‘Police continue to make enquiries following the sudden deaths of a 28-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman in Ealing on Monday.

‘This is following reports that the individuals allegedly passed away after taking an illicit substance in the form of a green pill. 

‘No arrests have been made at this time and we’re working closely with our partners, including the health service and councils, to issue advice to people in the area.’

Ealing Council have also raised the alarm over the mystery pills circulating. 

It said : ‘Over the Bank Holiday weekend, two people were found dead in Southall, following attendance at a nightclub in South London on Saturday 24 May. They are thought to have consumed green pills with an ’80’ on one face and possibly an ‘OP’ on the other. 

‘Please remember, there is no way of knowing what is in any pill or drug that is bought illegally, or how your body will react.

‘If you, or anyone you are with, starts to feel unwell after taking any pill or drug, go to your nearest Accident and Emergency department or call 999. 

Authorities urge anyone in possession of unknown pills or powders to avoid taking them and to seek advice from harm reduction services.

Chelsea captain Millie Bright has withdrawn from selection for England’s Euro 2025 campaign this summer.

The 31-year-old, who won the domestic treble with Chelsea this season, was expected to be named in Sarina Wiegman’s squad for the upcoming tournament in Switzerland.

Bright was not part of England’s squad for their recent Nations League games against Portugal and Spain as she was granted an ‘extended period of recovery’.

With 88 England caps, Bright is one of the most experienced members of the Lionesses squad and was a key part of the squad that won the Euros in 2022, as well as the one which reached the World Cup final in 2023.

However, Bright says she is ‘not able to give 100 per cent mentally or physically’ at Euro 2025 and will not be part of England’s squad.

‘This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make, but after careful thought and discussions with my team, I have decided to withdraw from selection for the England squad ahead of Euro 2025,’ Bright said in a statement on Wednesday.

‘Football has given me so much, and representing my country has always been my greatest honour.

‘My pride and ego tells me to go but I think the team and the fans deserve more. Right now I’m not able to give 100% mentally or physically.

‘As much as I want to be out there running through brick walls for England and fighting alongside my team mates, stepping back is the right thing for my health, my future in the game and most importantly the team.

‘It wouldn’t be fair for me to take the place and opportunity away from another player who is ready and able to give everything for the badge and country.

‘I’ll be supporting the team with everything I’ve got, and hoping this incredible group of players will do the nation proud. Thank you to my teammates, coaches, and, most importantly, the fans for your unwavering support, it means the world to me.’

The Lionesses will also be without goalkeeper Mary Earps, who announced her shock retirement from international last week.

Meanwhile, Fran Kirby also announced her retirement from England on Wednesday night and confirmed she was told by Wiegman that she would not make the squad for Euro 2025.

England kick off their Euro 2025 campaign against France on July 5. The Lionesses will then play the Netherlands on July 9 before their final game in Group D against Wales on July 13.
