A 34-year-old woman, Mugdha Deshmukh, is found dead in a rented apartment in Pune after she returned secretly from the UK. Her parents had not been told that she came back to India and were unable to reach her when contact stopped. Police later located her apartment and found her body in a highly decomposed state, with the cause of death still under investigation through a postmortem.

Several outlets say the discovery followed clues from bank activity, particularly food-delivery and online service transactions, which suggested she was in Pune during a period when the family believed she was still in London. Reports add that she had moved to the UK in July to pursue an MBA, lived alone, and took up part-time work. One outlet also describes the family’s attempts to contact her before her mobile phone was found switched off, and steps taken to seek help.

While outlets broadly agree on the timeline and the role of transactions, they differ in how much background detail they provide, and how precisely they describe the sequence of missed contacts and investigative steps.
