She had checked into the homestay with her husband, Soumya Shricharan, on Saturday night.
The couple, whose families are originally from Visakhapatnam, got married on November 8, 2025.

They checked into a homestay around 11:30 pm and retired to their room around 3:30 am on Monday. According to police, an emergency call was received around 7:30 am reporting that a female guest was unconscious. A police team, accompanied by medical personnel, reached the spot and found Gayatri dead. “Upon receiving information, a police team rushed to the homestay and an ambulance was called. However, when the medical team examined the woman in the ambulance, she was declared dead," Devendra Chauhan, station officer (SO) of Mussoorie police station, said as quoted by media outlets.
Police said that the woman was found naked inside the room, with bloodstains on the bedsheet. Investigators also recovered two empty liquor bottles and other material evidence from the scene. Sricharan told police that they had consumed alcohol and went to sleep around 3:30 am. He claimed that when he woke up later, he found his wife unconscious and bleeding from the nose. Shricharan is being questioned as part of the investigation. Officials have not ruled out any possibility and said the case is being probed from all angles. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination at Coronation Hospital in Dehradun, where a panel of doctors will conduct the autopsy. Investigators said the post-mortem report will be crucial in determining the exact cause of death and the future course of the probe.
