Decomposed body of an unknown woman found stuffed in a suitcase in Telangana’s Bachupally

The police said they received information Wednesday afternoon about a foul-smelling maroon suitcase in the construction area. When they inspected the suitcase, the Bachupally police found the body of a woman dressed in a maroon suit. The police believe the murder might have occurred 10 to 12 days ago.

“The woman’s identity has not been established yet. It appears someone killed her somewhere else and dumped the body here,” a police officer said.

The police said the body has been sent for a postmortem examination, and a case of suspicious death under Section 194 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) has been registered. The police are examining CCTV cameras for possible visuals of anyone dropping off the suitcase.

The police have formed special teams, under the supervision of K Suresh Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Balanagar Zone, to identify the deceased and apprehend those responsible for her death. The investigation is ongoing, the police added.

Kumar and the ACP visited the crime scene to oversee the initial stages of the investigation and provide necessary instructions to the teams.

The police have urged anyone with information regarding the deceased woman’s identity or the circumstances surrounding her death to contact the Bachupally Police Station.

In January this year, the Cyberabad police recovered the bodies of a man whose face was burnt, and a half-naked woman.

In another case earlier in 2020, in a suspected case of a rape and murder, an unidentified woman’s body was found under a culvert in Chevalla of Cyberabad police commissionerate limits, where the victim was found without clothes and her face disfigured. The victim was in the age group of 25 to 30 years.
