According to police, Ashna Beema Seethy, a resident of Jangpura, Pant Nagar, checked in at the hotel on Friday for a one-day stay. Later, on Saturday, she extended her stay for another day, they said.

On Sunday around 2.30 pm, when the hotel staff followed up with her for the payment of the extended stay, there was no response from the room. The staff entered the room using a master key and found her hanging from the water sprinkler in the room with the help of a white scarf, a senior police officer said.
