A security source who pleaded anonymity stated that Arnong boarded a commercial taxi at Transcorp junction last week.
The source disclosed that the taxi driver deviated from the usual route, heading towards the Lugbe-Airport road, where she was allegedly assaulted and then thrown out of the still-moving vehicle.
According to the security source, the deceased was later rescued and taken to the hospital, where she lost her life around 1:53 pm on Tuesday, July 8.
A source from the hospital, who said he was not permitted to talk to the press, confirmed the death of the deceased.
