"Initially, the Amboli police had registered a case of accidental death in this connection. Now, an offence of murder against an unidentified person has been registered and the probe is on," another officer told PTI.

Kritika's body was recovered by the police at around 3:45pm on Monday, when neighbours complained of foul smelling emanating from her flat.
