LAHORE: A 35-year-old woman was found dead in a room allocated to a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz MNA at the Federal Lodges called Chamba House, in the Racecourse Area late on Saturday.

Police said Samia Chaudhry, a resident of Sahiwal, had been living in the room since Nov 22. She was found dead by a waiter late on Saturday. She was staying at the lodges with the reference of MNA Chaudhry Muhammad Ashraf, from Sahiwal (NA-161).

The waiter alerted the police and they took the body to a morgue for autopsy. Civil Lines Division Superintendent of Police Ali Raza said they had collected evidence from the crime scene. He also said that it was impossible for someone to stay at the lodges without a reference from an MNA. He said the cause of death would be found after a post-mortem examination.
