In a shocking incident, the body of an unidentified 18-year-old girl was found inside a suitcase near railway tracks in southern Bengaluru.
Citing a senior police officer, PTI reported that the woman was estimated to be at least 18 years old or older and is yet to be identified. She may have been killed somewhere else. It appears that after the murder, the accused stuffed the body in a suitcase with the intention of disposing it in a secluded place.
Preliminary investigations suggest the suitcase containing the body was likely thrown from a moving train. The suitcase was discovered by a passerby, who promptly notified the police.
"Since no apparent injuries were visible on the body, we suspect that she would have been either strangled or smothered. However, only after postmortem, we would be able to ascertain the exact cause of her death," officer told PTI.
CK Baba, Bengaluru Rural Superintendent of Police, said, "We have begun our investigation and have registered a case of murder at Suryanagar police station. It appears that the suitcase was thrown most likely from a running train. The suitcase contained only the body-- no ID or personal belongings were found. We will continue investigating the case thoroughly."
Karnataka's Ramanagara witnessed another tragedy on May 12, 2024, as the body of a 14-year-old deaf and mute tribal girl was discovered near railway tracks.
