A forensic expert confirmed that a severely decomposed body found in a gunny bag near a Guwahati temple belongs to a woman, based on clothing and bangles.
Police in Guwahati recovered a gunny bag containing a human body from the vicinity of a local temple early Tuesday. The bag, found by a passerby, was handed over to authorities for examination.
A forensic official who inspected the remains said the body was in an advanced stage of decomposition, making visual identification difficult. However, the presence of typical female attire and a set of bangles led the expert to conclude that the deceased was a woman.
The investigation has been taken over by the Assam police, who have opened a case to determine the circumstances surrounding the death. Officers have appealed to the public for any information that could help identify the victim or shed light on how the body came to be placed near the temple.
Further forensic analysis, including DNA testing, is expected to be conducted to confirm the identity and establish a timeline of events. The police have assured that they will keep the community informed as the inquiry progresses.
