The incident came to light when the student’s mother attempted to wake her up in the morning. Despite calling her and knocking on her door multiple times, she did not respond. Feeling suspicious, the family members then opened the door and found her hanging from the ceiling fan

She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared her dead on arrival.

Inspector Sampatrao Raut of Vishrantwadi police told TOI, "The family members retired to their rooms around midnight between Saturday and Sunday after having dinner together. We suspect that the student died sometime between midnight and 6 am. She aspired to become a singer and had a beautiful voice. However, she enrolled in the MBBS course at a college in Katraj in accordance with her parents’ wishes. She stayed in the college hostel during the week and usually visited her family at their Vishrantwadi residence on weekends."
