According to the police, Shubhi Agarwal was pursuing her fourth year of BTech from a college in Sector 62 Noida. She was alone at the flat on Sunday night as her roommate had gone out.

“She hanged herself from the beam of the ceiling with the help of a dupatta. Her friends tried calling her on Sunday night but she did not answer the phone. They called repeatedly but there was still no answer. Later, they entered the flat through the balcony and broke open the door of her room to find their friend hanging dead,” said Dr Rakesh Mishr, circle officer, Indirapuram.

Shubhi’s father Nimish Gupta is an engineer and is posted with Aligarh development authority. The police later informed family members who arrived on Monday.

The police on Monday roped in a team of forensic experts and tried to find a suicide note. However, no note could be found till Monday evening, they added.

The police said they have opted to get a post-mortem examination of the body conducted.

“A post-mortem examination has been ordered and the report is awaited. Prima facie, it seems to be a case of suicide. However, if the report says otherwise, we will investigate the matter accordingly. Her family has not given any complaint so far,” Mishr said.
