“She left home and told us that she would stay with her friends there,” her father Ramesh Chandra Sahu told the media.

“She was studying at RD University in the city and had told the family that she was staying with friends in the mess. We don’t know why she went to the hotel. But how can person sitting on a bed hang self?” asked a relative.

According to sources, the girl checked into the hotel near Laxmisagar Square on Cuttack-Puri Road in the city around 3.30 am. She booked a room and took its key. When she did not come out of the room till evening, the hotel staff got suspicious and knocked on the door. Failing to get any response, they opened the door with the master key. They found Subhalaxmi hanging with her stole from the ceiling fan.
