Kasol (Kullu), (Himachal Pradesh) [India], January 13 (Diary Times): A 22-year-old woman was found dead under suspicious circumstances in Kasol, a popular destination in the Manikaran Valley of Kullu district. According to police, her body was abandoned outside a hotel by two men, who fled the scene immediately after.

The incident came to light when a hotel employee reported seeing two men carrying an unconscious woman down the stairs late on January 12. The men claimed that the woman had consumed excessive alcohol and fallen in the bathroom. However, instead of seeking medical attention, they left her body near the hotel’s main gate and escaped in a car with Punjab license plates.

Upon further inspection, hotel staff observed that the woman’s body was cold to the touch, and white foam was coming from her nose, indicating she had already passed away. Despite attempts to stop the suspects, they managed to flee.

Police investigations revealed that Akashdeep Singh, a resident of Bhai Baihalo Road, Bhagata Bathinda, Punjab, had checked into the hotel on January 10 with two companions. The suspicious behavior of Akashdeep and his friends, along with their attempt to conceal the woman’s condition, has raised serious concerns about foul play.

A case has been registered at the Manikaran Police Station under Section 103,3(5) of the BNS. SP Kullu, Dr. Karthikeyan Gokulchandran, stated that the police are diligently investigating the circumstances of the woman’s death and are working to track down the suspects.
