No headway in Bangalore techie Payal Surekha murder probe

Bangalore : Karnataka police are yet to make any headway in the probe into the mysterious death of a software engineer from Assam, official sources said on Saturday.

Twenty-nine-year-old Payal Surekha, an employee of DELL and married to a man from Orissa, was found murdered in her apartment in southern part of the city on Friday.

Surekha, a technical associate with DELL, was found with her throat slit on her bed at the apartment.

She was married to Ananth Narayan Mishra, a health specialist, for the past five years.

Police said Mishra was holidaying in Orissa.

Police said they came to know after Mishra alerted the flat owner after his call to his wife went unanswered.

The owner, who also had a duplicate key to the flat, opened and found Payal tied to her limbs and murdered.

Police said they are handling the case very seriously and believed to make a headway soon to the homicide.
