The body of Bollywood icon Sridevi was flown back to Mumbai on Tuesday evening.

Family members, including her film-maker husband Boney Kapoor and stepson Arjun Kapoor, brought her body in a private jet.

The Embraer jet, owned by industrialist Anil Ambani, landed in Mumbai around 9.30 pm and the cremation is scheduled for today around 3.30 p.m.

Anil Ambani, wife Tina Ambani and Anil Kapoor were among those at the airport when the plane landed.

The mortal remains were then taken to the Lokhandwala residence of the Kapoors where about a dozen police personnel and as many private security men were deployed for crowd management.

Earlier on Tuesday, Dubai Public Prosecutor's Office put an end to speculation about the cause of her death, saying she accidentally drowned in the bathtub following loss of consciousness, and that the 'case was now closed'.

It did not say what caused the 54-year-old superstar to lose consciousness. -- PTI
