Ghaziabad : Police were Wednesday investigating the death of a former air hostess under mysterious circumstances at Ghaziabad.

Some passers-by noticed Jaya Kaushik, a 26-year-old who earlier worked with Deccan airlines, lying critically injured near railway tracks at 11.30 p.m. Tuesday. They rushed her to a hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.

Attending doctors said her left leg and right arm were found broken and there were multiple injuries in her abdomen.

Her father Narendra Sharma refused to talk to mediapersons. Family members said she was returning from her office in Delhi, the office cab left her near the railway station here and she was walking home. They said she was then attacked by criminals.

Police suspect it could be a case of suicide though they did not rule out murder.

Police officer C.P. Singh said: "We have sent the body for post-mortem and investigations are on. We would be able to comment only after the post-mortem report reaches us."
