Can a dummy do a better job of finding Kirti Vyas's corpse than the police? After an entire month of unsuccessful attempts to find the missing salon employee's body, crime branch officers now hope that a mannequin implanted with a GPRS tracker will lead them to where the body may have floated, after the killers allegedly dumped it in a nullah along Mahul Road, Trombay.

The police began their search for Kirti Vyas's body on May 8, after the accused killers — her co-worker Siddhesh Tamhankar and Khushi Sahjwani —said they had dumped her body in a nullah from a bridge on Mahul Road, Trombay. Since then, the police have used several novel methods to search for the corpse, but have come up empty-handed each time. This time, Crime Branch officers plan to make a dummy that will match Kirti's height and weight, and then dump it into the nullah from the same bridge. The hope is that the dummy will float down the same route that the body took. The cops will implant a GPRS tracker in the mannequin so they can track it in real-time over the course of a week or fortnight.
