CHIKKAMANGALURU ( karnataka )- A 22-year-old woman from Nagaland was found dead under suspicious circumstances on Wednesday in Chikkamagaluru city, with police recovering a diary that allegedly details harassment by two men. The deceased has been identified as Linsula, a resident of Kiphire district in Nagaland.
Her body was discovered hanging at her rented residence in the Aravindnagar area of Chikkamagaluru. She was employed at the Global Village Resort, where she had moved to earn a living and support her family.
