Decomposed body found in suitcase near Mumbai sparks police hunt
A woman's decomposed body was discovered stuffed inside a suitcase under the Palava Flyover in Dombivli, just outside Mumbai, on Monday afternoon.
The spot was secluded, and it looks like someone tried to hide what happened.
Police have registered a murder case and are working across several cities to figure out who she is.
What we know so far
Investigators say the woman was likely 25-30 years old and may have been killed about three days ago.
Police suspect she may have been sexually assaulted and beaten before being put in the suitcase, but they're waiting for post-mortem results to confirm the exact cause of death and whether she was raped.
They're now checking missing persons reports and searching for clues in multiple cities, treating this case as a top priority.
