In a gruesome discovery that has sent shockwaves across the Delhi-NCR region, a woman&rsquo;s headless and naked body was found floating in a drain near Sector 108, one of Noida&rsquo;s posh residential areas. The body was recovered early Tuesday morning, with police confirming that both her head and palms had been severed, apparently to prevent identification.
According to officials, the disturbing find was first reported by locals who noticed the body drifting in the drain. Police from Sector 39 station immediately reached the spot and retrieved the remains. The woman&rsquo;s body has been sent for post-mortem, and forensic experts are assisting in the investigation.
Preliminary findings suggest that the woman was murdered elsewhere, her body mutilated, and then dumped in the drain to destroy evidence. &ldquo;The brutality of the act indicates a planned killing. The removal of the head and hands clearly suggests an attempt to conceal the victim&rsquo;s identity,&rdquo; said a senior police officer investigating the case.
Authorities have begun scanning CCTV footage from surrounding areas to track any suspicious movement or vehicles that may have transported the body. Teams have also been deployed to nearby colonies and missing persons&rsquo; registers are being checked for any recent complaints that match the description.
Police officials said they are exploring all angles, including possible personal enmity, sexual assault, or human trafficking. &ldquo;At this stage, nothing can be ruled out. The identity of the woman is yet to be confirmed, and only after that will we be able to connect the dots,&rdquo; the officer added.
The horrific discovery has sparked outrage and fear among residents of the area, who are demanding stronger patrolling and better surveillance. The drain where the body was found runs close to a residential cluster, making the incident even more alarming.
The autopsy report is expected to shed light on the exact cause and time of death. Meanwhile, police are trying to trace the missing body parts, which could hold crucial forensic evidence.
As the investigation continues, the case has highlighted once again the urgent need for stronger policing and CCTV coverage in suburban areas that have seen a rise in violent crimes over the past few months.
