Former AMU student found dead, relatives suspect murder

Asma Javed made headlines when she became the first woman to contest student polls in the prestigious Aligarh Muslim University, defying convention. The 28-year-old was found dead in her apartment on Wednesday. Asma's brother Salman had also suspected something was wrong when he called her repeatedly and found her mobile switched off. Asma ran for the post of students' president in 2011. Some cash and her tablet were missing from the apartment.
