“Upon entering the house, we found an intact body of a woman concealed inside a bag wrapped in a blanket, which was placed in a bed box. An incense stick was found burning on top of it,” said Neha Yadav, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Shahdara.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the woman had been deceased for at least two to three days before being discovered. According to reports, Mishra had visited the flat on Thursday night and again on Friday afternoon.
A forensic team has examined the scene, and an extensive probe is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the death. Police are also working to establish the victim’s identity and the possible motive behind the crime.
