A woman was found dead mysteriously in a 5-star hotel after she was dropped off by her male friend.
But by no means is the case simple, as the mystery deepens around the 18-year-old’s mysterious death with the post-mortem examination not being able to establish the cause of death.
The Deputy Commissioner of Police (east) Pankaj Singh has stated the post-mortem has not been able to ascertain the cause of death and that there have been no external injuries. “We have sent the viscera samples to the Forensic Science Laboratory in Rohini to establish the cause of death,” he said.
Singh said that in cases pertaining to cadavers with no external injuries, the initial post-mortem report may not be able to ascertain how the person died.

On Thursday, the woman was found dead inside the bathroom of Holiday Inn at Mayur Vihar, East Delhi. Police said she and her 20-year-old boyfriend had checked into the hotel, but he left soon after claiming his father was ill.
The following morning, the man made several calls to his girlfriend, which went unanswered. He then called the hotel and asked them to check on her. Staff found her dead on the bathroom floor with head injuries, ostensibly because of the fall.
Police said they have questioned the boyfriend several times in connection with the case but have not named him as a suspect yet. Meanwhile, the woman’s family has demanded his arrest. “We come from a humble family and my daughter cannot afford to go to a five-star hotel. Why did that man leave the hotel that night? These questions must be answered by police,” said her father.
Police claimed that her room was locked from the inside. “Until the cause of death is ascertained, everyone may be a suspect,” said DCP Singh.
