From Kansal in Mohali, the woman was staying in the factory with the owner’s family and was found dead in her room. No suicide note has been recovered.

The woman is survived by her father, a labourer, mother and siblings, who live in Kansal village. Her father had collected her salary from her employer last week.

Police say they did not note nothing suspicious during preliminary investigations even as inquest proceedings were initiated.
