The incident created panic in the area and left the family in deep shock.

Found Hanging In Her Room

According to family members, Ananya had dinner on Thursday night and then went to her room to sleep. Late at night, she locked the door from inside and allegedly hanged herself from the ceiling fan using a dupatta.
