Hyderabad pub dancer found dead in hotel room, boyfriend detained

A 26-year-old pub dancer was found dead under suspicious circumstances in a hotel room in Hyderabad's Langer Houz area, prompting police to launch an investigation. The woman, identified as Renuka, had checked into the hotel on Thursday evening with her boyfriend, Farukh. According to police, she was found hanging in the room after her boyfriend returned from stepping out. He immediately alerted the hotel staff and informed the authorities.
Police said Renuka worked as a dancer at a pub in Kukatpally and had been in a relationship with Farukh for the past six months. Investigators also revealed that both were married but living separately from their respective spouses. Before her death, Renuka reportedly made a video call to a friend and mentioned that her birthday was the next day.
Renuka's family has rejected the suicide claim and alleged that she was murdered, raising suspicion over Farukh's role.
Police have detained him for questioning, shifted the body to Osmania General Hospital for a post-mortem examination, and are investigating all possible angles. Officials said the exact cause of death will be determined after forensic and post-mortem reports are received.
