Hyderabad: A 29-year-old woman who checked into a hotel in Madhapur with her male friend on Monday afternoon was found unconscious by hotel staff on Tuesday morning, and was subsequently declared brought dead by doctors after she was rushed to a nearby private hospital.
She had checked into Room no 304 at a hotel on Road No 5 in Siddiqui Nagar, Madhapur at around 2 pm on Monday with her male friend, who has been identified as Srinivasa Ravi Teja. On a complaint lodged by a friend of the victim, police registered a case under section 103 (1) (murder) of the BNS. Police identified the woman as Sharon Nikita Topno, a native of Visakhapatnam. Hospital staff immediately alerted the police. “On examination, small injuries were noticed on the face of the deceased. An empty liquor bottle was found in the room.
Police said that they are yet to find out where the victim worked or stayed in Hyderabad. He has switched off his mobile phone, and special teams have been deployed to trace him,” the inspector said. “Even her family is not certain of her workplace or place of stay. We’re trying to locate Ravi Teja to know what transpired in the room.
The cause of death can only be ascertained after the post-mortem,” Madhapur ACP Ch Sreedhar said. A CLUES team visited the hotel room and collected forensic evidence from the crime scene.
