Police reportedly found the body of the woman, identified as Sai Surabhi, inside a room, and also recovered a rope and some tablets, leading officials to suspect that poison may have been consumed.

A 17-year-old girl has alleged that she was kidnapped, kept in captivity for almost a week and was physically tortured only for force conversion of her religion, police said on Sunday. The police have arrested one accused in connection with the case.

In a statement, the Indian Army said: “We have seen some media reports alleging recent encroachment by Chinese PLA and setting up of camps in Arunachal Pradesh. These reports are incorrect and without any basis.”
