The woman was found dead on Monday in a room adjacent to the one where she was staying, police said, adding that the man who had accompanied her has since absconded.

In another incident, a 24-year-old newly married woman, identified as Kamini, allegedly died by suicide after jumping from the 16th floor of a residential society in Sector 108 on Sunday, police said.
Her husband, Manthan Dhiman (27), told police that she was suffering from mental depression, but her family subsequently lodged a dowry-related complaint against him, following which he was arrested, police said.
