A 27-year-old software engineer, who was in Mussoorie on vacation with her husband, was found dead in her room in a house on Mussoorie-Dhanaulti Road on Monday morning, police said.
The woman was identified by police as B Radha Gayatri, a resident of Shakarpur in east Delhi. I worked with an IT company in Gurugram. Her husband, Soumya Sricharan, worked in a company in Pune, and they married in November 2025.
The couple was in Mussoorie on vacation and reached the residence late on June 14, police said. They had departed from Delhi to Rishikesh on June 13.

Chauhan said police received information about a woman in critical condition at the house on Monday morning.
A police team rushed to the residence. “But when the medical team examined the woman, she was declared dead on arrival,” Chauhan said.
