Woman found dead

 A 22-year-old saleswoman was found dead under mysterious circumstances near a toilet located close to a colony of sheds where she resided with her family, at Doddakanahalli in HSR Layout in the early hours of Friday.

The police have identified the deceased as Vandana, a native of Kolar who was working in a nearby shopping mall. She was staying alone in one of the sheds, constructed beside an under-construction building. Her parents and sister had been to Kolar to attend a wedding, while Vandana had decided to stay back as she was not feeling well.

The incident came to light on Friday morning, when a few people went near the toilet. They found her body in a charred state. They informed the police, who shifted the body for post mortem.

A senior police officer said, “There are around 150 sheds and most of the residents are labourers. Right behind the shed, there are a line of toilets for the residents. Her body was found in one of the toilets. A case of murder has been registered. Investigation is on.”
