On Saturday night, she stepped out alone to check in her daily attendance at around 8:30 pm and did not return until 10 o'clock. The roommates started frantically calling her and even informed the hostel warden who started to search the entire premises. When they tried to reach her through her phone, it was busy and it was revealed later that she was on call with her parents back home around 9:30 pm" he said. When the girls of the hostel reached the terrace looking for her, they found her pair of slippers and mobile phone. When they went closer they saw her body lying n the ground below.
