According to a report by Times of India, the deceased was identified as Varsha Shinde, a 32-year-old former kabaddi player. The report said that the incident came to light around 7:15 am., when Varsha’s husband alerted one of her colleagues, a police constable, saying Varsha had locked up her bedroom and was not responding or opening the door.
