Unidentified Woman's Body Found in Ganges Canal Area
Police made a grim discovery in Muzaffarnagar on Wednesday morning. They found the body of an unidentified woman dumped in bushes along the Ganges Canal embankment. The incident occurred under the Khatauli police station area.
Face Wrapped with White Tape
The woman appeared to be around 40 years old. Officers noted a disturbing detail. Her entire face was tightly wrapped with white tape. This suggests a deliberate attempt to conceal her identity.
Police believe the woman was murdered at another location. Her body was later dumped at the canal site. This move likely aimed to destroy evidence.
Police Response and Investigation
Authorities received information about the body. SP (city) Satyanarayan Prajapat responded quickly. He arrived at the spot with the circle officer of Khatauli. A forensic team and other police personnel also reached the location.
Officers cordoned off the area for examination. They carefully inspected the scene before taking the body into custody.
Possible Cause of Death
SP Prajapat shared initial observations. He said there were no visible external injury marks on the body. This indicates the woman may have been strangled to death.
"Prima facie, it appears the body was brought from another location and dumped here," the SP stated.
Ongoing Efforts
Police have initiated inquest proceedings. They are making active efforts to establish the woman's identity. This remains a key challenge in the case.
Further legal action will depend on the post-mortem examination results. Officials await those findings to guide next steps.
The discovery has raised concerns in the local community. Authorities continue their investigation to uncover the truth behind this tragic incident.
