A 20-year-old woman from Manipur died by suicide in southeast Delhi's Sunlight Colony on Saturday, the police said.
A call was received at the police control room at 6.22 am about a body found near Maharani Bagh, the police said.
The woman has been identified as Priyaluxmi Devi Khangebam from Manipur's Bishnupur district.
She had been living in a third-floor flat with a roommate, the police said, adding she came to Delhi in October 2024. She worked in a Noida-based business process outsourcing (BPO) firm. Her friend is also working there.
CCTV footage recovered from the rooftop of the building showed her walking alone before jumping, a police officer said. The footage is being analysed closely for further investigation, the police said.
Her family has been informed and the body has been kept at the AIIMS mortuary. A post-mortem will be conducted in the presence of her family members, the police said.
