According to the Dongri police, the control room was informed around 8pm by the staff of Gafoor Palace Hotel in Nishanpada area of Dongri that a woman who checked in at the hotel on February 4 was not opening the door.

Accordingly, the Dongri police station was informed, and a police team reached the spot. “Our team then brought a carpenter and broke open the door. The door was locked from the inside. We found her hanging to the ceiling fan with the help of a scarf,” said a police officer.

“We are also trying to find out details about a man who accompanied her and left two days ago. We have prima facie learnt that she visited Dubai for a job and left the job mid-way while her other colleagues kept on working there. We are trying to find out what happened and what led her to take such a drastic step,” said a police officer.
