A 23-year-old woman working with an Information Technology (IT) company was found dead near her hostel in Hyderabad's Gachibowli area in the early hours of Wednesday, police said.

Rani Manisha, hailing from Jharkhand, was suspected to have jumped from the fourth-floor of the hostel where she was staying, police sub-inspector Ch Venkatesh said.

"Some people noticed her body at around 5 am and alerted the hostel authorities," he said.

Preliminary probe revealed that she was under depression, Venkatesh said, adding that police have registered a case of death under suspicious circumstances.
