Her husband and in-laws stay in Bhopal. Devak, a civil engineer pursuing a PHD in water resources, had earlier worked in the US for a short stint and had returned to study at the IIT.
She got married in 2013 and an inquiry by a sub- divisional magistrate will be carried out, police said.
Her friends were being questioned. No suicide note has been found.
