A 24-year-old girl was found hanging from the ceiling fan of her bedroom at Swastik Vihar Society on Patiala Road today. The deceased has been identified as Poonam, a native of Himachal Pradesh, who was staying in a rented house in the colony.

Zirakpur SHO Onkar Singh Brar said information was received that the body of the deceased was hanging from a fan. She was working at a parlour, but did not leave the house yesterday, after which neighbours called up the police.

The police have informed the family of the victim. The police said preliminary investigation revealed that it was a case of suicide. — TNS
