CALANGUTE: More than six months after the mysterious death of Telangana resident Dr Neha Mulagalapalli, 23, in Goa, Calangute police recently registered a case of murder against six persons who accompanied her in the hours prior to her death.
The FIR was registered after the judicial magistrate first class (JMFC), Mapusa had passed an order on April 8 directing the police to register an offence on the basis of a complaint by Dr Phani Kumar Mulagalapalli, father of the deceased woman.
The offence has been registered under Section 302 (murder) against six persons, including a doctor, all from Hyderabad.
Mulagalapalli had on October 28 last year lodged a complaint at the Calangute police station stating that his daughter Neha had arrived in Goa to celebrate her 23rd birthday along with her cousins on September 25 last, and had stayed at an apartment in Candolim.
In his complaint, Mulagalapalli stated that his daughter and the others had dinner at a restaurant in Candolim that night and later Neha’s friend Sravanthi and her boyfriend Prudhvi took Neha to a resort in Morjim at around 1.15am.
