Mussoorie: A 27-year-old techie, on vacation with her husband, was found dead under mysterious circumstances at a homestay in Mussoorie.
She has been identified as P Radha Gayatri, a resident of Kidwai Nagar East in Delhi, who worked at an IT firm in Gurugram.
Gayatri had arrived at the Kiana Homestay Tipridhar, on the Mussoorie-Dhanolti Road, late Sunday night with her husband, Soumya Sricharan, who is also an IT professional based in Pune, the police said on Tuesday.
The Mussoorie police received information about an unresponsive woman at the homestay on Monday morning, as reported by PTI.
An ambulance was rushed to the spot and a paramedic travelling on it pronounced Gayatri dead.

Sricharan told the police that he and his wife had alcohol after checking in and finally went to sleep around 3.30 am on Monday. He woke up a few hours later and found his wife unresponsive in a puddle of urine with blood oozing from her nose, he claimed.
