Maya Gogoi incident follows another gruesome incident
Lakshmi had traveled to visit a relative’s house in Nelamangala with her husband, Venkataramana. She went to take a shower but did not return after a significant amount of time. Family members grew concerned when no sounds of running water or the geyser were heard. After repeated knocking yielded no response, Venkataramana broke open the bathroom door, finding Lakshmi lying lifeless on the floor.
Strange marks on Lakshmi’s face added to the mystery, prompting a police investigation. A forensic team has been deployed to examine the bathroom and surrounding premises to determine the cause of death.
