A 23-year-old post-graduate student of the Osmania University was allegedly strangulated to death by her friend at his residence in Chatrinaka area of the Old City, the police said on Tuesday. A case of murder has been registered against the victim’s former classmate Shiv Kumar, who was also pursuing a PG course at the Osmania University, the police said, adding a hunt is on to trace Kumar who is absconding.
