The deceased woman had checked in the hotel room with a man who had claimed to be her husband. The couple had entered the hotel premises at around 1 pm in the afternoon and had told the hotel staff that they will check out at 7 pm.

In the hotel records, the couple had claimed to be residents of West Midnapore district. The Technocity officers have refused to give any further comments as the investigation is going on.

A similar incident was reported from Chandigarh in January this year when a 20-year-old woman was found dead in a hotel room. She had also checked in the hotel with a man who had left the hotel after a few hours. The man was later convicted of murder as the police found out that he had stabbed the woman.
