Mumbai:
The police are yet to make a breakthrough in connection with the recovery of the body of an unidentified woman at a suburban railway station here on Tuesday.
The body of a pregnant woman, aged between 24 and 26, with semen stains on her private parts, was found recovered from a suitcase abandoned by a man at Sandhurst Road railway station of Central Railway on Tuesday.
A Delhi-based woman, who arrived today with her son to identify the body, denied the victim was her daughter. Assistant Police Commissioner (GRP) BA Thomre said that the woman initially suspected the deceased resembled her daughter whom she claimed to have eloped with her boyfriend.
"After seeing the body in JJ hospital, the Delhi woman said the deceased was not her daughter. According to the woman, her daughter had an Aum sign on her hand, which was not there on the hand of the deceased," the ACP said.
"We have taken the matter seriously. There was nothing much to say on the probe at this point of time," Thomre said.
"Police from the city and suburban Kurla, Vikhroli had come and seen the body to see if the deceased had any similarities with the women missing in their respective police station limits. So far, nobody has identified her," he said.
According to the police, the suitcase containing the body of the woman was abandoned by a man at around 1.30 AM on platform number one at Sandhurst Road railway station of Central Railway on Tuesday. Police suspect she might have been raped before being killed. The post mortem report suggested she died of strangulation, they said.
