The victim was found hanging in a room close to her house at DDP Nagar here on July 27. The room was rented by a student named Motiram Choudhary.

Dissatisfied with the police investigation, her brother Ashok, then moved an application in the court of Metropolitan Magistrate last week alleging tampering with the investigation favouring the accused.
