By Drooid · · How we work
Core Incident
On a Tuesday in early September, 34-year-old B Sirisha, a bank customer-care executive from Nagasamudram in Vikarabad district, was found dead inside room No. 103 of the Gokul Pride OYO hotel in SR Nagar, Hyderabad. Hotel staff rang the doorbell repeatedly after the man staying with her left the premises at about 3:30 a.m. and reported that Sirisha would check out after breakfast. When there was no response until noon, staff called police, who opened the room with a spare key in their presence and discovered Sirisha lying on the bed with a food plate beside her.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Sources differ on the nature of Sirisha’s injuries. Some reports describe “multiple injuries” and suggest a curtain rod may have been used, while others refer only to a “blunt object” without specifying the weapon. The final forensic examination has not yet confirmed the cause of death. Additionally, the identity document recovered at the scene listed the name “Durga,” whereas earlier hospital records identified the victim as “Sirisha.” Police are examining whether the prior alleged assault by her husband is connected to the present case.
What’s Next
Police have deployed special teams to locate Srinivas, checking his village and transport hubs. The Clues team will continue forensic testing, and investigators will review the hotel’s CCTV footage to reconstruct the events leading up to Sirisha’s death. The murder case remains open under Section 103(1) of the BNS.
