A shocking case has surfaced from the Lodhi Colony area of Delhi, where a 28 year old newly married woman was found dead under mysterious circumstances inside the Palika Kunj NDMC society, a residential complex her family says she had no connection to.
Worked in Chhatarpur, married just two and a half months ago
The deceased has been identified as Akriti, a resident of Sangam Vihar. According to her family, she worked as a sales executive in Chhatarpur. She had gotten married on 24 April 2026 this year, meaning she had been married for only about two and a half months at the time of her death.
Hosted her wedding party, then her phone went dead
The incident took place around 9 pm last Saturday night. Her family says Akriti had hosted a party for her friends to celebrate her wedding that same day. Later in the evening, she called her mother and told her that she had reached the metro station near her home. Soon after this call, her phone switched off. Around 9 pm, residents of the society spotted her body inside the Palika Kunj complex, after which the police were informed immediately.
No link to the society, so how did she end up there
Police who reached the spot identified the body as Akriti's. Her family told police that Akriti had no direct connection to the Palika Kunj society and that none of their relatives live there either. This has raised the question of what exactly brought Akriti to this housing complex in Lodhi Colony, and who she travelled with, and how, on the way from the metro station to the society.
Police take custody of the body, inform the SDM
Police have taken possession of the body and begun their investigation. Since Akriti had been married for less than seven years, in this case just two and a half months, the SDM has been informed as required by law in such cases. Police officials say they are examining every angle of the case closely. CCTV footage from the surrounding area is being scanned to establish who Akriti was with and how she travelled from the metro station to the Palika Kunj society. The investigation is currently ongoing.
