A young domestic help was found dead in the building where she worked in south-west Delhi’s Safdarjung Enclave, the police said on Wednesday.
The incident took place on December 27, they said.
The police said that the woman, who appears to be in her 20s, worked as a domestic help for one of the building’s residents. When the police reached the spot, they found the woman hanging from a swing in the terrace of the apartment, a senior police officer said.
‘No external injuries’
No external injuries were found on the body, the officer said.
A note left behind by the deceased was recovered from the spot, in which the woman has reportedly hinted at being in a relationship with an unnamed person, the police officer also said.
The recovered note stated “I love you and I cannot live without you”, the officer said.
In the note, the woman has also asked her brother to take care of himself.
The police have denied any foul play in the matter, saying that the woman had visited her parents from December 6 to 13 in connection with her marriage, he added.
The senior police officer said that prima facie, it appears that the woman was not happy with the marriage proposal, adding that all angles are being probed in the matter.
The body was handed over to the family of the deceased after a post-mortem was conducted, the police said.
Family’s allegation
The woman’s family has meanwhile, alleged that the police have not investigated into the matter thoroughly.
