A 27-year-old woman was found dead in Telangana’s Hyderabad on Friday morning. Police suspect suicide but have launched a probe to determine the cause.

The deceased, identified as Sushma, was a resident of Addagutta in Secunderabad and worked at the Diebold Nixdorf office in Hitech City. According to police, she had gone to work as usual on Thursday but did not return home that night.

Her father, Anjayya, grew concerned and contacted her office manager, who informed him that she had left the office premises at around 10.30 pm. Unable to trace her whereabouts, Anjayya filed a missing person’s complaint at the Madhapur Police Station around 4 am.

Just a few hours later, around 7 am, the police were alerted about a woman’s body floating in Durgam Cheruvu lake. Upon reaching the spot, they identified the deceased as Sushma.

The Madhapur police have registered a case and launched an investigation. The circumstances leading to her death remain unclear, and further inquiry is underway.

In another incident, a 25-year-old software employee, Devika, died by suicide at her residence in Prashanti Hills in Raidurgam on Sunday night. Her husband, Sharath Chandra, has been booked for dowry harassment. The couple had married six months ago in Goa.

Devika’s family alleged that she faced continuous physical and mental abuse from Sharath for additional dowry. She reportedly ended her life by hanging. Upon discovering her body, Sharath informed the police and her family.
