Bhubaneswar: Putting an end to the speculations over the death of Subhalaxmi Sahu whose body was recovered from a Bhubaneswar hotel on August 4, Bhubaneswar DCP Pratik Singh on Friday confirmed that the teenage student of Kamala Nehru Women’s College “died by suicide.”
The DCP also confirmed that the post-mortem and the probe report into her death confirmed that the girl died by suicide. At the same time, the DCP said that further investigation is underway to ascertain the reason behind the suicide.
Saying that there was nothing suspicious in her CDR, the DCP added that the police have questioned her family members to get an idea about her mental state. The DCP also said that no viral video regarding the deceased has been found and said, “If any such clip is found, we will analyse it.”
