Earlier report: TCS staffer death: Rape not ascertained

Employed at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in Mumbai, Anuhya went missing from the city on January 4, until her body was discovered in suburban Kanjurmarg.

The doctors who medically examined her body said the injuries found on her body and private parts were caused by a blunt object.

The cause of her death and sexual assault, if there was any, however, is being ascertained through chemical analysis being done by forensic experts.

Her family had blamed the Mumbai police for its "sheer apathy" in the case. Anuhya had boarded the Vishakapatnam-LTT Express train from Vijayawada on January 4 for Mumbai.

She was returning to Mumbai after her Christmas holidays but she did not reach her hostel in suburban Andheri. Initially, her father lodged a missing complaint at Vijayawada railway police station on January 5, after which he came to Mumbai and lodged a similar complaint at the Kurla railway police station.

Preliminary investigations established that the techie went missing after reaching Mumbai, according to police.
