The woman’s highly decomposed body was recovered from a flat in a housing complex at Gahunje on Wednesday night
Pune/Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A 34-year-old woman from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar who had gone to UK to pursue an MBA was found dead in a rented flat in Pimpri Chinchwad after police traced her location while investigating a missing-person complaint filed by her father. However, the family could not contact her after the evening of Oct 24, and her cellphone was subsequently found in switched-off mode,” senior inspector Devendra Chavan, of Shirgaon police, said. The case came to light after the woman’s father, a retired engineer of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation (CSMC), approached the local Osmanpura police when the family lost contact with her, said inspector Ashok Mudiraj.
Senior police inspector Devendra Chavan said the exact cause of death would be established only after the postmortem. Shirgaon police have registered a case of accidental death and are probing the circumstances surrounding her death. A breakthrough came after the family examined her bank records. Police found recent transactions linked to online services, including food delivery and travel platforms. A Blinkit delivery linked to Osmanpura in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar further raised suspicion that she had returned to India without informing her family. Police are now piecing together the woman’s movements after she left the UK and the circumstances that led to her death.

Osmanpura police registered a missing-person case and launched an investigation. The family then sought help from police and diplomatic channels.
