A day after a minor girl, a domestic help, was found hanging in a palatial house of a renowned industrialist under mysterious circumstances, the police are yet to ascertain circumstances leading to the death of the victim identified as Sunita, alias Pammi.

Circumstantial evidence suggests that the victim had died an unnatural death at the house, situated in South City, here, somewhere around midnight on the night intervening Tuesday and Wednesday as the watchman had noticed the hanging body around 2.30 am on Wednesday.

Though normally all incidents occurring under jurisdiction of a police chowki or a picket are reported to the police station concerned, the issue was still being dealt with at Raghunath police chowki and personnel at the Sarabha Nagar police station were unaware of the matter.

Members of the family of the deceased too are divided over the reason behind the mysterious death. While one of her sisters sought registration of a murder case, the mother said the deceased was suffering from some illness.

It is yet to be ascertained for how long the victim had been working as a domestic help at the residence of the businessman.
