Another mutilated body found in Saket area

A day after an unidentified man's body was found in southeast Delhi's Saket area with the legs chopped, another body of an unidentified woman was found in southeast Delhi’s Amar Colony on Saturday morning with its lower portion missing.

The woman is said to be in her thirties and was found stuffed inside a black bag and dumped in an open drain near a bus stand on Captain Gaur Marg near Garhi village T-point. 

Police said the woman must have been murdered 24 hours ago. It also appeared that some portion of the body had been eaten by an animal.

“The woman has a wheatish complexion. She had a religious thread on one of her wrists and was wearing a red salwar kameez,” said a police officer.
 
Police said that a PCR call was received around 10.30 am after a local went near the drain to urinate and spotted the bag. When he went near, he realised there was a foul smell coming from the bag and he informed the police.

A case under section 302 (punishment for murder) of Indian Penal Code has been registered at Amar Colony police station.

Police officials said that locals are being questioned to know if they saw any suspicious activity in the area and efforts are on to identity the woman. 

“We are going through reports of women who had gone missing in the past one week. Prima facie, it appears that the woman was murdered at another place and later her body was dumped here,” the officer said.

Police officers of southeast police district also acknowledged on condition of anonymity that they are probing if there is any relation between the two bodies which have been found in a space of one day in somewhat similar conditions.

This is the fourth such case of an unidentified body being found in last nine days in the capital.
