The victim, identified as Asiya alias Tina, a resident of Safipur in Unnao
LUCKNOW: A 25-year-old woman from Unnao was found dead under suspicious circumstances near the Kisan Path underpass in Lucknow’s Dubagga area, prompting police to launch a murder investigation after a handwritten note containing the names of four men and a four-digit number was recovered from her bag. A passerby alerted police around 9.30 pm, following which officers reached the spot and began an investigation.
Police said injury marks were visible on her face and preliminary observations suggested she may have been strangled before her body was dumped along a service lane near Kisan Path. Family members said Asiya, also known as Nargis and Tina, had faced a troubled personal life and had been married twice. However, police said no link between her personal circumstances and the murder has been established so far.
The exact cause of death, however, will be determined after the post-mortem examination. In her complaint, Nasreen alleged that an unidentified person killed her sister and dumped the body to conceal the crime. An FIR was registered at Dubagga police station on Sunday on the complaint of the victim’s elder sister, Nasreen Bano, under BNS sections related to murder and destruction of evidence.
The victim, identified as Asiya alias Tina, a resident of Safipur in Unnao, was found lying near the Saidpur village underpass on Saturday night.
