Woman professor dead after stabbing at IIM, Indore

Indore: The body of a female professor has been found on campus at IIM , Indore.

Amrata Pancholi, a 32-year-old Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour and Human Resources Management, was found in her house on campus.  The police says she was murdered; she has  several very deep wounds caused by stabbing.

Amrata's body was discovered by her part-time help on Friday morning. When Amrata didn't answer her doorbell, her help looked in through the window and saw Amrata lying on the floor. She called security for help.

Amrata had been living at IIM Indore for the last 18 months. She was from Udaipur.  Her family arrived in Indore this morning for a holiday they had planned with Amrata.   Upon landing in Indore, they were told about her death.

The police has sealed her house, which was the corner-most house in the row. At this point, the police is not sharing details about whether her house was broken into, or whether whoever killed Amarata knew the professor and was allowed into the house by her.

Her colleagues describe Amrata as a "dynanmic and congenial" teacher.
