Details of the Discovery
The body was recovered from a bush, roughly 4 kilometers away from the rented house where Priti lived with her husband, Pawan Soni, a 28-year-old e-rickshaw driver, and their three-year-old daughter. Authorities reported that the body was packed in a plastic bag, indicating a possible attempt to conceal the crime.
