A 25-year-old air hostess was found dead during a weekend party at her friend's rented apartment in DLF Phase I early on Sunday morning, police said.
The woman was identified as Simran Dadwal, and she reportedly worked with Air India for two years. She used to work for Vistara Airlines. Simran, who is originally a resident of Mohali in Punjab, has been living in Delhi for her work.
Police officials say that she arrived in Gurugram on Saturday to meet her friends. She reportedly developed breathing problems while partying and was rushed to a nearby private hospital. She died during the treatment.
A senior official at the DLF Phase-I police station said, "She was working with the airline for the past two years and was living in Delhi. She had come to Gurugram on Saturday to meet her friends. The deceased had troubled breathing at around 5am."
Police said they were informed by hospital authorities following her death. "A team was immediately dispatched to the spot to take the body to the local mortuary for an autopsy," said Inspector Rajesh Kumar, station house officer of DLF Phase-1. The woman’s parents arrived in Gurugram on Sunday and sought a post-mortem examination to rule out foul play. Police said that further action will be taken based on the autopsy report.
Police have not yet registered a criminal case. They recorded statements of friends present at the apartment to reconstruct the events leading up to the woman’s death.
