The incident came to light when her family members grew concerned after being unable to contact her for several days. Repeated calls to her phone went unanswered. Worried, they reached out to the house owner, asking him to check on her. When the owner tried to open the door, it was found locked from inside, raising suspicion.
The landlord then informed the Subramanyanagar Police, who rushed to the spot. Upon breaking open the door, the officers discovered the woman’s body hanging in the room. Police said that the body was already decomposed, suggesting that she may have died several days earlier.

The door was bolted from inside, and all indications point to suicide. However, we will wait for the forensic and postmortem reports before making a final conclusion,” the officer said.
