HYDERABAD: A 21-year-old girl from Kothur, who left home for college, was found dead with her throat slit at Pragathi Resorts in Shankarpally in Cyberabad police commissionerate limits. The victim, Sirisha Goud is suspected to have been left to bleed to the death in the bathroom of one of the rooms in the resort.

The accused's friend has then called a revenue department official in Chevella and the information was further passed to the security and then to the police," said Shamshabad DCP PV Padmaja. The DCP said action will be taken against the resort management for violating the norms.

The victim Sirisha (21) of Thimmapur was studying degree final year at a private college in Dilsukhnagar. On Thursday, at around 11 am, she informed her parents about leaving for college, but did not return. Her father was intimated by the police on Thursday night about the murder.
