An IIM-Indore professor Amrita Pancholi was found slain in her flat at the institute’s residential campus on Friday morning. Several stab injuries have reportedly been found on her body.

The 32-year-old professor was perhaps attacked on Thursday night with sharp-edged weapons by unidentified assailants. DSP (Crime) Jitendra Singh, who is investigating the case, said she was stabbed repeatedly all over the body nearly a dozen times which caused fatal.

Singh said that the body has been sent for autopsy. The motive behind the murder is not yet known, investigations are however on, he said. He, however, not ruled out an insider’s hand in the murder as security around campus is very tight.

Amrita Pancholi belonged to Udaipur, Rajasthan. She had been working as an associate professor in Human Resources Management for over a year. She was also working as a consultant on behalf of the IIM-I for at least three major Corporate Houses.
