Police have reason to believe the woman may have been killed elsewhere and her body dumped at the location due to the absence of any personal belongings at the scene
A decapitated and disrobed body of a woman was found on the highway in the Gujaini area of Kanpur. Locals discovered the body with the head missing in the area near Munna Tiraha, under the limits of Gujaini police station on Wednesday and notified the police. The identity of the woman is not known yet.
According to a TOI report, police have sent the body for a post-mortem examination. Multiple teams were formed to investigate the case, identify the victim, and locate her decapitated head.
TOI quoted DCP South Ravindra Kumar as saying, “The woman appears to be 35 years of age. We are in the process of scanning CCTVs installed in and around the area to ascertain the facts that led to her death. The forensic team has been roped in at the scene to collect evidence. Currently, no items have been found at the location except her slippers and broken teeth. Neither the woman’s phone, ID, nor any bag was recovered at the site.”
Another official involved in the investigation stated that police have reason to believe the woman may have been killed elsewhere and her body dumped at the location due to the absence of any personal belongings at the scene.
“No blood was even found at the spot. However, blood was found pooled inside her neck, which made it appear that she had died several hours ago. The woman’s arms and legs were broken, which appears to have been crushed by passing vehicles,” he added.
