Overview
- A 27-year-old software engineer, P Radha Gayatri, was discovered unresponsive in a homestay room on Mussoorie‑Dhanaulti road during a vacation with her husband and was declared dead on Monday morning.
- Responders and police found the body unclothed on the floor with blood on the bedsheet, urine reported at the scene, and two empty liquor bottles and food items recovered from the room.
- Investigators sent the body to Coronation Hospital, Dehradun for a videographed autopsy by a panel of doctors; the preliminary report found no external injury marks and viscera were preserved for chemical and toxicology analysis.
- Authorities have photographed and videographed the room, collected forensic samples, and questioned the husband and homestay staff while the victim’s parents and in‑laws reached Uttarakhand; family statements reported both a complaint seeking a probe and comments that they do not suspect foul play.
- Police say forensic and toxicology results, which can take days to weeks, will be key to establishing the cause and sequence of events and will determine the next steps in the multidimensional investigation.
