Describing the horrifying moment he found her, Rahul said he was the first to reach her flat. When she didn’t open the door, he called a locksmith. Their balconies were connected, and he sensed something was wrong when repeated attempts failed. He said the locksmith was terrified when the door finally opened, and upon looking up, he saw Pratyusha hanging from a black satin cloth. Rahul immediately took her to the hospital and even tried to give her CPR, but she could not be saved.
