BIJNOR: In a horrific
incident that reminded of the Hyderabad vet's rape and murder, the charred body of a woman in her mid-twenties was found in
Gajraula under
Bijnor city
police station area, barely 500 metres away from the Delhi-Pauri national highway. Police could ascertain the age only from one foot that escaped the fire.
SP (city)
Lakshmi Nivas Mishra said, "We have recovered two used and a live cartridge from the ashes.
We are waiting for the postmortem report." The accused used a wooden cot to burn the body, the SP added. The incident came to light on Friday when a local contractor reached the spot and saw the burnt body. He then informed the police.
In an identical incident on December 24, 2018, the body of a woman was found burnt near a canal here. Police are yet to crack the case.
