KOLKATA: A 42-year-old woman, who stayed alone, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her rented apartment at Bikramgarh near Golf Green on Saturday night.
Police said the victim, Rina Saha, was going through divorce proceedings and her husband and 11-year-old son were not with her when the incident took place.
The woman, locals claimed, was not seen in the area for the past five days.
According to the Golf Green police, the neighbours became suspicious after they witnessed water leaking from the AC duct of her flat on the first floor. They informed the kin who came and tried calling her. The cops, too, reached the spot and broke open the door to find the woman hanging from the ceiling. She was taken to Baghajatin hospital, where she was pronounced dead. No suicide note was found, said an officer at Lalbazar.
