According to hospital sources, Manasi, who was married, spoke to one of her friends this morning over phone and told that she would be late in attending college today.
She reportedly told her friend that she was unwell and needed some rest. But when her friends did not see her turned up in college they started calling Manasi on the phone. But there was no response and the calls went unanswered.
When Manasi's friends came to her hostel room, they saw the door was locked from inside. They immediately informed the hospital super who subsequently called the police. Her family members have been informed by the police.
