GHAZIABAD: The burnt body of a woman was found hacked inside an abandoned suitcase in the Muradnagar area on Tuesday morning. Police suspect the woman, who seems to be in her late 20s, may have been murdered in Delhi or Ghaziabad and later dumped on NH-24.
Sources said a suitcase emitting foul smell was noticed by passersby on the highway, who then informed police. "The body had been hacked to fit it into the suitcase. It had been partly burnt with the intention of hiding the identity of the deceased,'' said an officer. He said no missingreport for a woman had been filed in local police stations, which is why cops are thinking that the woman may be from outside Ghaziabad. Sources said the body pieces had been wrapped in a saree.
Recently, two bodies were found in the capital, one from inside the LNJP Hospital and the other from near a Metro Pillar in Nehru Place. Officials claimed that the deceased seemed to belong to either the homeless or the migrant class who barely stay in one address for more than a few days. Bodies of several persons who have been killed are thrown on roads, drains, railway tracks and secluded areas. Curiously, railway tracks have seen a good 40 percent of such bodies. Most of them, recovered late, are in such condition that it becomes impossible to ascertain whether he or she was a victim of accident or foul play. According to police officers, a large number of bodies are found in drains flowing into Delhi from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
Recently, there has been a spate of unidentified bodies which have been recovered in the capital triggering chief minister Sheila Dikshit to meet Home Minister P Chidambaram.
