ITANAGAR, May 5: A girl aged 19 identified as Malikha Barman from Assam was allegedly found dead in a mysterious condition at the ground floor of an under construction building located at Kankarnallah, Naharlagun on Thursday  morning.

When enquired Officer in-charge (OC), PS, Naharlagun, N.  Riba said that when a team of police arrived at the spot, there was no wound or injuries found over the body of the deceased indicating that she was murdered or raped.

Riba said that he has directed the investigation officer (IO) to look at every possible angle whether it is a case of murder, rape or suicide or else to immediately identify the cause of the death of the victim, who is by birth deaf and dumb.  

He informed that around 12 pm on Thursday  night, the father of the victim personally lodged a missing complaint in the PS Naharlagun stating that his daughter around 10 pm on Wednesday night had gone out to attend nature’s call and did not return afterwards.

OC informed that subsequently a missing report was registered and police launched a major investigation to trace the missing girl.

However, the next morning, the father of the deceased reported that his daughter’s dead body was found in an under- construction building opposite Chevrolet car dealer, Naharlagun.

‘It is too early to comment whether it was a case of murder of rape,’ said OC, N.  Riba asserting that the body has been sent for post mortem and the report is awaited. 

Furthermore, the OC added that he has directed the investigating team to look at every angle to find out the reason for the unnatural death.
