A relative, who spoke to our correspondent anonymously, said they would pursue the matter to a logical conclusion until the cause of her death is unravelled.

“It was not that day she started swimming. She was used to swimming pools very well. We were shocked about the incident. But, unfortunately, the management is yet to tell us the truth,” the family member said. When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command,
