Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy today condoled the death of woman software professional from Machilipatnam, Esther Anuhya, who died under mysterious circumstances after she went missing in Mumbai.
Reddy spoke to her father Jonathan Surendra Prasad and extended heartfelt condolences and sympathies, official sources said here today.
"Maharashtra Chief Minister is being contacted by our Chief Minister to request to constitute a special police team to speed up the investigation," sources said.
In Machilipatnam, Minister for Secondary Education and Excise K. Pardha Saradhi, former deputy Speaker of state Assembly B. Vedyavyas and a number of local Congress leaders visited the bereaved family and expressed their sympathies.
Last rites of Anuhya (23), whose body was found off the Eastern Express Highway in Mumbai on January 16, were performed at Machilipatnam yesterday after the body was brought from Mumbai where postmortem was conducted.
Employed with a reputed software company in Mumbai, Anuhya went missing from the city on January 4, until her body was discovered in suburban Kanjurmarg.

The doctors, who medically examined her body said, the injuries found on her body and private parts were caused by a blunt object.
The cause of her death and sexual assault, if there was any, however, is being ascertained through chemical analysis being done by forensic experts.
Anuhya had boarded the Vishakapatnam-LTT Express train from Vijayawada on January 4 for Mumbai. She was returning to Mumbai after her Christmas holidays but she did not reach her hostel in suburban Andheri.
