Nagaland youngster’s body found hanging in hotel room

The police have initiated a probe into the mysterious death of a youth of Nagaland whose body was found hanging in a room of a hotel near Lassi Wala Chowk here on Thursday.

The deceased, identified as Hootovi Seema, had checked into Kakar Hotel on Tuesday and the hotel management had got the room opened when staff noticed non-opening of the room after check-in.

Having receiving information, the Division Number 1 police deployed investigating officer Balraj Singh to probe the death of the youth.

Though the police are yet to reach any conclusion in the mysterious death of the victim, preliminary investigation revealed that the youth was a former employee of a hotel in J&K.
