Police said it was early to say whether she committed suicide or had been murdered. The body was shifted to the district headquarter hospital for postmortem, but the police awaited her parents to arrive from Karachi for their consent. Her colleagues who knocked at her room's door grew worried when Chandani did not respond for several minutes. They somehow managed to look inside the room from the crevices in the door. "She was neither responding to the knocking at the door nor to our shouts," her friend told the police. The hostel's watchman later broke open the door, only to find the student lying dead. In a similar incident, a student of Sindh University, Naila Rind, was found dead from her hostel room on January 1, 2017. Her body was found hanging from the ceiling fan.
