New Delhi: In what can be called as a mind-numbing incident coming from Delhi, a 24-year-old woman's dead body was found in a jute sack in Sarita Vihar on Tuesday. Police said that the woman had left home on Monday for a job interview but never returned.
According to Hindustan Times, the woman, a resident of Ambedkar Nagar in Delhi, was found in a jute sack barely 300 metres from the Sarita Vihar police station. Police had also found her resume and her mobile phone not far away from the dead body. Police sent the body for post mortem at the Indian Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Wednesday and began an investigation. Family members of the victim alleged that officials at the Ambedkar Nagar police station turned them away when they tried to lodge a missing person complaint on Monday night.
While the police were waiting for the autopsy report to ascertain whether she was sexually assaulted, they are questioning the woman's friends and acquaintances in connection with the case.
Chinmoy Biswal, the deputy commissioner of police (DCP)(Southeast), who is investigating the matter, said to the website that the victim's father had revealed to them that her daughter left home after receiving a call from an unknown person who offered her a job.
