Opened the door with the master key

If we believe the hotel staff, they had asked the girl for dinner at 11:30 pm. But she had refused. Then the next day on Monday, when the room door did not open till 11:30 am, the hotel staff knocked on the door. There was no sound from inside. On suspicion, the door was opened with a master key. Everyone was shocked to see the scene inside. The girl's body was hanging from the fan. The police was immediately informed about this.

The family members of the deceased said- A young man named Gagan lives near our house. He has been after our daughter for the last four years. Both of them belong to different religions. In the year 2020, we had first registered a case of molestation in Sadar police station. He still did not improve. Then this year a case of misconduct was registered against him. After which the police sent Gagan to jail. But he came out on bail after some time. He was harassing our daughter since then.

The last chat was done from a number named Kavita

Police said- When the girl's mobile was searched, a lot of information was found. She had saved a number in her mobile by the name Kavita. She had made audio and video calls to her number late at night but they were not received. In the morning, she received calls from the same number. By then, the girl had died. Before committing suicide, the girl had written in the chat that she was feeling lonely. She was not feeling well. Police suspected that she had saved Gagan's number by the name Kavita.

There was talk of going to Aligarh

According to the information, the girl used to play hockey when she was in college. After MA, she also worked in a private bank. Her father is an employee in a hospital. The family told the police that the daughter had left the house on Saturday afternoon. She had told that there was a match in Aligarh. She had talked to her family on Sunday evening. She had told that the match was over and she would return by morning. The family was waiting for the daughter. But then they got the news of the daughter's death directly. The question in the mind of the police now is that the girl had come to this hotel in Agra on Sunday evening. Then where was she on Saturday and with whom? This is also being investigated.

Gagan gave his explanation to the police

On the other hand, Gagan told the police - I was friends with that girl. But the wall of religion was coming in between. The girl's family filed false cases against me so that we both get separated. The girl herself had arranged for my bail. If I had done something wrong with her in the hotel, she would have definitely raised an alarm. I had just met her and left. At present, the police is further interrogating Gagan. This case is being investigated from every angle.
