The body of a man cut into three pieces and stuffed in a jute bag was found in a drain in West Gorakh Park area near Welcome in northeast Delhi on Monday morning, Hindustantimes has reported.
As of Monday evening, the identity of the slain man who the police said would be around 30 years old, had not be established.
AK Singla, North-East deputy commissioner of police, said the crime came to their notice at 10am through a call made to the police control room. A local resident, who was passing by the drain, spotted blood coming out of a jute bag and alerted other residents. One of the residents called the police control room.
A police officer associated with the investigation said, “Prima facie it appears that his throat was slit with a sharp weapon and then the same weapon was used to cut his body. Those who committed the crime apparently wanted to hide the victim’s identity and mislead us in the probe.”
Singla said a murder case had been registered and investigations were under-way.
Police are also examining footage of CCTV cameras installed in vicinity of the drain to identify the suspects who dumped the bag containing the body in the drain.
