A routine visit to a relative’s house turned tragic for a 24-year-old woman who was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her bathroom in Bengaluru. Don’t worry Sunday.

Conformable Times of India report, the deceased, Lakshmi, was married to Venkataramana, a businessman from TirumalaAndhra Pradesh. The couple traveled to Nelamangala to visit a relative, Suhasini. After reaching home, Lakshmi excused herself to take a shower, informing the family that she would be back soon.

However, concerns arose when Lakshmi stopped coming out after some time. Family members noticed an eerie silence—no sound of running water or the geyser running. Her husband Venkataramana knocked on the door repeatedly but got no answer. Fearing the worst, he opened the door, only to find Lakshmi lying motionless on the bathroom floor, the report added.

“She was cold to the touch and strange marks were visible on her face. There were no signs of life,” Venkataramana told the police. The family rushed Lakshmi to a nearby hospital, but doctors declared her brought dead.

The investigation is ongoing

Nelamangala police, who were called to the spot, started an investigation to ascertain the cause of death. The strange marks on Lakshmi’s face puzzled the investigators. A forensics team was deployed to examine the bathroom and surrounding areas while her body was sent for a post-mortem examination at the Nelamangala mortuary.

A visibly shaken Venkataramana described the incident as incomprehensible. “We were all chatting in the living room around 9.30 when Lakshmi went to take a bath. At about 9.50 I went to check on her because I didn’t get any response. Everything is a mystery. We will fully cooperate with the investigation,” he told TOI.

The police are waiting for the post-mortem report to find out the circumstances behind the death.

Meanwhile, the forensic team analyzes evidence to determine the origin of the strange marks found on Lakshmi’s face.
