Delhi air hostess ends life in Juhu hotel

Mumbai: An air hostess with a low-cost airline committed suicide at her room in a Juhu-based five-star hotel on Saturday.
Sucheta Anand (25) was found hanging from the fan of her room in a hotel located off Juhu beach. She did not leave behind a suicide note. Police officials said she had separated from her husband and had also filed a harassment case against him in Delhi, where she lived.
According to the police, Sucheta was posted as the lead cabin attendant for IndiGo Airlines. She had joined the airline on August 1, 2006. A resident of Delhi, she had been on normal crew layover in Mumbai.
"The airline had booked a few rooms in the hotel for its crew. Sucheta was in room 311 by herself. On Saturday evening, a hotel employee went to her room for housekeeping, but despite several knocks, he got no response. Eventually, he called the manager and the room was opened with a duplicate key. Sucheta was found hanging from the fan," senior inspector Dilip Gaikwad said.
Her brother, Manish, came to the city on Sunday to claim her body.
The airline staff said Sucheta had been behaving normally with her colleagues. "We were deeply saddened to hear of the untimely passing away of our valued employee. She will be missed by all at IndiGo. Our prayers are with her family at this difficult time," Bruce Ashby, CEO of IndiGo, said in a press statement.
