Raigarh (PTI): A 22-year-old social media content creator allegedly committed suicide at her home in Chhattisgarh's Raigarh district, police said on Wednesday.
Leena Nagwanshi was on Tuesday found hanging from a pipe with a scarf on the terrace of her house here under Chakradhar Nagar police station limits, an official said.
She had identified herself on her Facebook handle as a YouTuber. She used to post her reels on Instagram and had 11,000 followers.
Nagwanshi was alone in the house at the time of the incident. When her mother returned from the market, she found her hanging, the official said.
"No suicide note was found at the spot. The woman's mobile phone was seized and was being examined," he said.
A case has been registered in this connection and further investigation is underway, he said.
The body was handed over to the family members after post-mortem, he added.
Nagwanshi was a student of Bachelor of Commerce second year course.
Her father is a government officer posted in Surguja district.

Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
