Investigators are trying to find out how 76-year-old Komal Sampat Ghule died. She was found dead in her apartment in Kothrud in early April 2025, and her body had serious burn injuries.
The team looking into this is checking her burns closely to see what might’ve caused them. They saw smoke in the apartment that made them come, but they didn’t find any fire there. This is why they’re looking very carefully to understand what happened to Ghule.
The police are working with the fire department to look at different ideas about her death. They think there are three main possibilities: an accident caused by something in her home, a choice she made to hurt herself, or something else that might’ve caused the burns. They’re paying special attention to things like a pooja lamp, which could have started a fire.
The investigators are collecting different types of evidence. They’re taking samples from the apartment and talking to people who live nearby to get more information. Forensic specialists are studying the burn marks and looking for any smoke or things that could have helped start a fire.
The police and fire officials are working together to find out what really happened. They want to make sure they check everything carefully before knowing how Komal Ghule died.
