A 23-year-old national level swimmer Tanika Dhara, working with Western Railway (WR), allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at her residence in Lower Parel in central Mumbai, police said on Friday. “The incident came to light when her friend visited her residence yesterday and found the room locked from inside. Even her repeated calls to Tanika went unanswered,” a police official said. Tanika was rushed to a hospital, but was declared brought dead. “The motive behind the suicide is yet to be ascertained and our investigation is on,” the police official added.
