The father of IT professional P. Radha Gayatri is demanding a thorough investigation into her death in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand.

The case has drawn attention due to allegations of domestic harassment and the family's claims that local authorities failed to act promptly. The victim's father, P. Sudhakar, said the death was not an accident or due to health issues but was a murder.

Gayatri hailed from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, and was employed in Hyderabad. She and her husband were married on Nov. 9, 2025 [1]. The incident was reported on June 18, 2026 [1].

Sudhakar said he has submitted extensive evidence to the police regarding the alleged harassment his daughter faced after her marriage. He said Gayatri did not suffer from any health issues that could have contributed to her death.

"They were married on November 9, 2025. My daughter was working in Hyderabad," Sudhakar said [1].

The family expressed frustration with the legal process and the speed of the police inquiry. Sudhakar said the pace of the investigation is too slow and there have been lapses in handling the case.

Local authorities in Uttarakhand are tasked with examining the evidence provided by the family to determine if foul play occurred. The case remains an active investigation as the family continues to seek a transparent accounting of the events leading up to the death in Mussoorie.

“The pace of the investigation is too slow and there have been lapses in handling the case.”

This case highlights the friction between grieving families and law enforcement during death investigations involving allegations of domestic abuse. The demand for a faster investigation underscores a perceived lack of transparency in how local authorities handle cases of suspected harassment and murder involving professionals from outside the state.
