Mumbai:
When Laxman Kumar saw a large bag lying unattended on a local train in Mumbai this morning, he stopped in his tracks. ''I first saw a finger, and then opened the bag and saw it was a dead body,'' said the porter at the Churchgate Railway Station.
The corpse of a young woman was placed on a train from Virar to Churchgate. The police believes she was in her early 20s and had been assaulted before being strangled.
The body has bruises on the neck and back. The Railway Police have formed six teams to track the killer. CCTV from various stations that the local train stopped at is being scanned.
This is the third time in a month that a woman's body has been found stuffed into a bag. Another body, that of a woman in her 30s, was found in a bag on Juhu beach on March 10; a third woman's body was found on a railway platform in Mumbai on March 16.
But the killers in all the cases are still at large.
The police says there's nothing to suggest that the killings are related.
