In a two-page note, suspected to be left behind by the woman, police said she accused a man and his family members of harassing her when she demanded they repay a loan she had given them, police said. The woman worked as a lab assistant at a private school and served as a civil defence volunteer before that, they said.

“The number was of her former colleague from the civil defence unit. My sister has given him and his brother over ₹2 lakh for their mother’s medical treatment. They were not returning the money despite her repeated requests. For the past few weeks, they were threatening and harassing her,” the woman’s younger sister, 25, said.
