The body of an unidentified woman, estimated to be between 30 and 35 years old, was found stuffed in a suitcase near Shiv Nadar School on the Gurugram-Faridabad Road. The suitcase was discovered in the Aravalli hills area, directly opposite the school, within the Sushant Lok police station limits.
“The body was recovered after a passerby spotted a black suitcase with a swarm of flies hovering around it, causing suspicion, and alerted cops. The police team reached the spot and got the crime scene inspected by the scene-of-crime, fingerprint, and dog squad teams of the police,” officials said.
Upon reaching the spot and opening the suitcase, officers found the decomposing body of the woman. Forensic teams were immediately called in, and the body was sent to the mortuary for post-mortem. Police have begun examining CCTV footage from nearby areas to trace the perpetrators.
Distinctive markings on the victim may help in identification. The number “8” is tattooed on her left thumb, and the word “Maa” (mother) is inked on her left shoulder, police said.
Initial investigations suggest the woman was brutally murdered, and her body was disposed of in a calculated manner, indicating the involvement of a cold-blooded killer unafraid of the law.
The woman’s identity is yet to be established. In a bid to gather leads, Gurugram Police have announced a reward of Rs 25,000 for anyone who can help identify the deceased.
An FIR has been registered under the relevant sections of murder and destruction of evidence. The investigation is ongoing.
