The matter came to fore after a passerby spotted the body in the bushes and informed the police. The guards of the university were also alerted. Chaos was reported from the area as two teams of police officers reached the spot.

“We received a call in the morning about a body lying in the bushes. A team reached the spot and took the woman to the hospital. She was declared brought dead. It appears that she was strangled to death and her body dumped in the bushes,” a senior police officer said.

Police have registered a case of murder in the matter and further sections will be added once the autopsy report is out. “It appears that she was throttled. There are scratch marks on her arms and neck as well which show that she fought the attacker. The cause of death, however, will be clear once the postmortem is done,” a senior police officer said.
