The crime scene was checked by the crime and forensic team. The body was inspected in the mortuary wherein no external injury was found visible but small ligature marks (a common injury in case of hanging and strangulation) were visible at the throat but the same is subject to autopsy report, he added.
Prima facie it appears to be case of suicide, however, action will be taken after the autopsy report, the officer said.
In the preliminary investigation, it came out that the deceased was married to another man but he had died. So, she started living with the auto driver, Anar Singh after her husband passed away.
Her younger brother Golu, aged 19 years, also used to reside with them. He found her hanging in her bathroom at 6 pm and took her to hospital accompanied by her boyfriend.
