Nagaland Woman, 22, Found Dead in Chikkamagaluru After Diary Alleges Harassment

The case adds to growing safety worries for Northeastern migrants working far from home.

Overview

  • Linsula, 22, was found hanging at her rented home in Chikkamagaluru on Wednesday, police said.
  • Her sister, Lashila Inchungar, filed a complaint at the Basavanahalli police station accusing two men, Rajesh and Tejas, of harassing her.
  • Police seized a diary that names those men and describes physical and mental abuse under the pretext of a relationship, and they are also reviewing a half-hour call she had with Kivishe Kinimi shortly before the incident.
  • Officers say they have informed her family in Nagaland and examined the scene, and they have not announced any arrests or a confirmed cause of death.
  • Reports note she supported her parents from her resort and spa job, a detail now sharpening concern over risks faced by Northeastern workers after cases such as the 2024 killing of Maya Gogoi in Bengaluru.
