In a separate case, a decomposed body of an unidentified, middle-aged woman was found in the district. Gautam said the body appeared to be around 10-12 days old.

“The body is badly decomposed to its skeleton. We did not find any document or piece of evidence on the body to identify it. We will send the bones for testing, and this may give us some clues,” he said.
