A 37-year-old woman from Uzbekistan was found dead in a hotel under suspicious circumstances in Bengaluru, police said on Friday.
Zareena had arrived in India on a tourist visa and checked in a hotel at Seshadripuram four days ago, they said.
Police suspect that the Uzbek national was strangled to death in the hotel suite.
The matter came to light on Thursday after a caller complained to the reception desk of the hotel that she was not responding to the calls, police said.
When the hotel staff checked, they found her dead. Accordingly, a complaint was lodged with the police.
The body has been shifted to the Bowring Hospital for autopsy.
Investigations are on into the matter.
