A police official familiar with the case said: “On May 5, the woman fell asleep in her room after dinner. When the door to her room opened late the next morning (May 6), her parents sensed something was wrong and broke down the door. They found the woman dead. The police were informed and her body was sent for an autopsy. The next day, an FIR was registered based on a written statement from the woman’s mother.”

The police officer said, “According to the suicide note, two youths from Kathitand under Ratu police station, Anand Minz and Arvind Kindo, called the woman on March 6 and committed gang rape at a place near Kokar Chowk under Sadar police station.”

A police official said the suicide note did not mention how the rapists managed to call the woman.

According to police, the woman blamed the duo for her suicide. “The reason for my suicide is Anand Minz and Arvind Kindo, who live in Kathitand. On March 6, they lured me to go to Kokar Chowk and then gang-raped me. I won’t be able to survive suffocation. That’s why I’m leaving. Sorry everyone…! I’m sorry, mother…! “Everything is captured on video surveillance,” she said in her suicide note.
