A young woman was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her house at Shastri Nagar under the Kharavel Nagar police station here on Wednesday.
The deceased was identified as Subhasree Mohapatra (35), wife of Ananta Narayan Nath who works at a private company in the city.
According to reports, Subhasree’s four-year old son after returning from tuition found her lying in bed and called neighbours. He then informed his father by calling him through a neighbour’s phone.
Subhasree’s husband rushed her to the Capital Hospital, where doctors declared her brought dead.
Police started an investigation to ascertain the cause of the death.
Subhasree’s mother said, “Yesterday, I visited my daughter’s house. In the evening, I got a call from my crying grandson telling me ‘my mother is not waking up’. I rushed to her place only to find her dead. She had no enmity with anyone. The culprit should be punished.”
Subhasree’s husband suspected that she was strangulated to death as he saw cut marks in her neck. Truth would come out after investigation, he said.
