New Delhi, Nov 6 (NationPress) A sense of dread enveloped Noida’s Sector-108 on Thursday morning after the gruesome discovery of a woman's dismembered remains in a drain under the Sector-39 police station's jurisdiction. The shocking find revealed that the woman's head and both hands were missing, and her body was discovered without clothing.
Upon receiving the alarming report, local law enforcement and forensic experts promptly arrived at the scene, where the body was taken for a post-mortem examination. As of now, the victim's identity is yet to be established.
In a video shared via his official X account, the Additional DCP of Noida confirmed the recovery of the body from the drain, following a tip-off received by the police.
He mentioned that the panchnama and post-mortem processes are underway, with three specialized teams working tirelessly to determine the victim's identity.
Reports suggest that a morning walker was the first to spot the body near the drain and immediately notified authorities. Initial investigations indicate that the murder was executed with extreme brutality, and the severing of the head and hands might have been an attempt to hide the victim's identity.
The police suspect that the woman may have been murdered elsewhere before her body was discarded in the drain.
Officers are currently reviewing CCTV footage from adjacent roads and areas to trace how the body arrived at the drain and to identify any potential suspects or vehicles involved in the crime.
The forensic team is examining soil and water samples, as well as various objects and tire marks located near the crime scene.
Additionally, alerts have been dispatched to nearby police stations to check for any missing person reports that could correspond to the deceased.
The victim is estimated to be between 20 and 30 years old. Given the circumstances of the unclothed body, police are also investigating the possibility of sexual assault; however, confirmation will rely on the findings of the post-mortem report.
Senior police officials have visited the scene to oversee the progress of the investigation. They expressed optimism that the victim’s identity would soon be uncovered and the case resolved.
Preliminary findings suggest that the murder occurred elsewhere, with the body disposed of in the drain to eliminate evidence and obscure identity.
