Bengaluru (PTI): A 23-year-old education technology firm employee was found dead in her flat in the city, police said on Wednesday.
Suspecting it to be a murder, the police have launched a manhunt for her friend, who is at large.
The crime came to light after Akanksha Bidyasar's roommate returned to the flat on Monday only to find her dead, they said.
Her roommate alerted police who reached the spot and conducted inquiry.
Akanksha was found lying dead in the bed with a stole tied around her neck. Investigation revealed that Akanksha's friend Arpith Gurijala had come to visit her on Monday.

Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
