In a tragic incident that has sent shockwaves through the corporate and residential hubs of Telangana, a 28-year-old female employee working with a private sector bank was found dead under mysterious circumstances inside her apartment. The grim discovery was made on Sunday within the Galaxy Towers located in the bustling Pocharam IT corridor under the Medchal-Malkajgiri district jurisdiction. The deceased has been identified as Monika Santhi, who originally hailed from Ichchapuram in Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh and was gainfully employed with Axis Bank.
The Discovery: Domestic Help Raised the Alarm
According to local law enforcement authorities, the incident came to light when the domestic help arrived at Monika's apartment for routine chores. After ringing the doorbell repeatedly and receiving no response from inside, the helper grew suspicious and looked through a window, only to find Monika hanging from the ceiling fan. The panic-stricken helper immediately alerted neighbors and the local police station.
A police team from the Pocharam IT corridor police station promptly rushed to the spot, secured the crime scene, and initiated preliminary inquiries. The body was subsequently shifted to the Gandhi Hospital mortuary for a post-mortem examination. Investigators have stated that while initial appearances point towards suicide, the exact cause of death and surrounding circumstances can only be definitively established after the comprehensive medical and forensic reports are finalized.
A Love Marriage and the Reality of Corporate Life
Police background checks revealed that Monika had entered into a love marriage with Ramakanth, a native of Visakhapatnam who works in the IT sector. The couple was blessed with twin children, presenting an outward picture of a modern, settled urban family. However, investigators are now delving deeper into the dynamics of their interpersonal relationship to understand whether professional stress, domestic discord, or underlying friction contributed to the tragedy.
Family Level Serious Allegations Against the Husband
Following the tragic news, grieving family members rushed from their native places to Hyderabad. Relatives openly accused Monika’s husband, Ramakanth, of subjecting her to continuous mental and physical harassment. The family claimed that toxic domestic conditions drove her to this extreme step, demanding a thorough and impartial police probe into the matter.

Authorities reiterate that further legal action will proceed strictly based on the forensic evidence and the conclusions drawn from the autopsy report.
