An autopsy revealed she had stab injuries in four places, which is believed to have led to her death. However, it has not been cleared whether the victim was raped or subjected to any sexual assault on the fateful night.
Maheshwari, a software engineer Maheswari and native of Salem district, lived in Medavakkam and had been working with TCS at Siruseri since Feb 2013.
