In Mumbai’s Malad West, INS Hamla is home to a 20-year-old woman undergoing training to become a Navy Agniveer. Police claimed the woman was discovered dead in her dormitory room on Tuesday and that an accidental death report had been filed.
The trainee was discovered hanging from a bedsheet, according to the police. They also said that she was pronounced dead by the physicians who raced to her room.
The woman was from Kerala, according to local police officer Chimaji Adhav. She arrived in Mumbai two weeks ago and was residing at the Navy hostel with at least twenty other women.

In order to determine the precise cause of the trainee’s death, police recorded the testimonies made by her relatives and coworkers and sent the trainee’s body for postmortem examination. It appears that the cause is private. But we’re looking into every avenue,” Adhav remarked.
