According to reports, the body was wrapped in a plastic sheet, and it was discovered by the cleaning staff as it was smelling rotten. Jayamma, a sanitation worker at the railway station, found the decomposed dead body and informed the authorities. It was found that a white cloth was tied to the neck of the victim, and some chemical was poured into the drum in order to hasten the decomposition of the body.
Reportedly the drum was lying on the platform for the last few days, but nobody paid attention to it. But when a strong foul smell started to come out of it, the cleaning staff inspected it on Wednesday, discovering the body of a young woman. The body is believed to be that of a 23-year-old woman.
A case has been registered at the Yesvantpur railway station regarding the incident and a probe has started. Moreover, efforts to identify the victim woman have also started.
It is notable that this is the second incident of murder in the capital city of the southern state in recent times. Earlier, a youth killed a young girl at the Presidency college for rejecting his proposal for a romantic relationship. The 19-year-old girl was stabbed to death by the culprit. Now, this unidentified dead body has been found at the Yeshvantpur railway station.
