A woman’s body, believed to be in her late 20s, was discovered stuffed into a suitcase near a forest area along the Delhi-Lucknow NH-9 in Pilakhua, Hapur, on Friday morning. The woman has not been identified yet.

Additional SP Vineet Bhatnagar stated that the woman likely died several days ago, citing the decomposed state of the body and maggot infestation. “There are injury marks on the face, and a grey scarf was wrapped around her neck. It appears that she was strangled. The exact cause of death will be known after the postmortem report arrives," he said.

According to Bhatnagar, the woman was wearing a light pink salwar and a yellow floral kurta. Black threads were tied around her waist, wrist and ankle. A pair of pink-coloured slippers was also found in the suitcase. Forensic teams have collected samples, and we have shared details with police from adjoining districts and on social media for identification.

Bhatnagar mentioned that the body was discovered nearly a kilometre off the highway in an area lacking CCTV cameras and with minimal foot traffic. He assured that police teams have been formed to investigate and vowed to crack the case soon.

Further investigation into the matter is underway.
