# 19-year-old Assam woman murdered in Noida PG, accused held 2026-08-13T11:16:32+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The blood-soaked body of Mahak Ahmed, 19, from Dibrugarh, Assam, was found in a locked room in Noida's Baraula village on August 10, Times of India reports. She had arrived in Noida about three weeks earlier with her 18-year-old friend Sanjana. Police have taken the accused, Raman, a BTech graduate from Bihar, into custody. An argument on August 8 between the women and Raman, who was drinking alcohol in the corridor, is the key lead. The motive remains unclear. Sanjana left the accommodation on August 9 and returned to find Mahak missing. When a foul smell emanated from Raman's locked room, the landlord was informed. Police forced open the door and found Mahak's body with multiple injury marks, possibly from a sharp weapon. A murder case has been registered. Investigators are examining Mahak's phone records and Raman's movements. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Assam, murder, Noida, PG accommodation, Raman, woman safety Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/19-year-old-assam-woman-murdered-in-noida-pg-accused-held/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
