"The cause of death will be confirmed after the autopsy report," he added.
According to police, Rubina's body was discovered by her colleagues after repeated attempts to reach her by phone throughout the day were unsuccessful. They informed a neighbor, who spoke with Rubina's husband and learned that she had been unwell and had kept the door closed since morning.
After repeated attempts to contact her failed, Rubina's colleagues went to her house. Upon forcing entry, they discovered her body hanging from a ceiling fan.
