According to the officer,Sarita’s father-in-law called the police on Wednesday,saying the woman was not opening the door of her room and that a foul smell was coming from it.

“The room was bolted from inside — we broke it open and her lying on the floor,” the officer said. Sarita was declared dead on arrival at DDU Hospital; doctors there said she had consumed some poisonous substance.

Sarita’s in-laws have told the police that they had last seen her on Wednesday afternoon,and she seemed all right then.
