The deceased has been identified as Linsula, who was employed at Global Village Resort, Asianet News reported.
Police said a diary recovered from her room names two men, Rajesh and Tejas, and alleges harassment. It's said that the two men were constantly after Linsula, pressuring her for a relationship and subjecting her to physical and mental harassment.
