The members of Mallika Rajput are in a state of shock since she was found hanging from the fan in her bedroom. As per India TV, the local police reached the spot, filled the Panchayat Nama of the body, and sent it for post-mortem.

Talking to the media, Mallika's mother said that the family members weren't aware of the timing of the incident. ''Earlier, the door was closed. And the light was on. We took three rounds but could not open the door. At last, I looked through the window and saw that she was standing there. When I knocked on the door, I saw that our daughter was hanging. I called my husband and others, but she was no more,'' she said while talking about the heartwrenching incident.

Mallika was just 35 years old. Talking about the incident, Kotwali police station in-charge Shriram Pandey said that prima facie, it seems to be a case of suicide. The situation will become clear only after the post-mortem report, and further legal action will be taken based on that report.
