Her body was found in a decomposed state and the air-conditioner of the room was on, which is why the foul smell started emanating late. She has been dead for three to four days. "The AC of the room was on so that smell could not come out soon. We believe she was murdered three to four days back, today foul smell started emitting," the officer said.

Kritka is said to have worked in the Kangana Ranaut-starrer Rajjo (2013), and in a few Balaji production TV serials, including Parichay (2011).
