The incident took place at around 12.30 am. "As soon as she was found dead, all the other people present at the party fled. However, a Nigerian who is believed to be her boyfriend, was present at the spot," said a police official from Kharghar police station.
The group was partying till late night and police officers recovered liquor bottles from the flat on the third floor. Niang had shifted with her boyfriend (identified as Uche) to Koparkhairane a month ago from Ahmedabad.
"She was very sweet and I knew her since her childhood. She was not under any stress. We feel that she may have accidentally fallen from the balcony," said Paul Naulak, a relative of the deceased.

We have called in two people for questioning, her boyfriend Uche and the flat owner Dong. A case of accidental death has been registered," said Senior PI Dilip Kale from Kharghar police station.
He further revealed that no case has been registered against her boyfriend and other people yet.

Her body will be handed over to the family today and her last rites would be performed at her hometown in Bungmual, Churachandpur, in Manipur, her relatives revealed.
