On Wednesday morning, a body of an unidentified woman which had six stab wounds was found in a Surat-Virar train.
According to the Hindustan Times, the body of the woman was found in a coach behind the engine of 59038 Surat-Virar shuttle. The incident came to light when a Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable, Sandeep Singh, discovered the body during a routine check at 6.45 am when the shuttle reached Valsad station. But even before the RPF officials could remove the body, the train pulled out of the station.
Later, the train was then halted at Pardi station, that is when the body was removed. The woman’s body had six stab wounds to the chest, shoulders, and abdomen. She also had a tattoo which said ‘Bachubhai Mashel’ on one of her hands. An officer told the leading daily that, “We also found a red bag containing Rs 2,000, along with a few Solapuri bedsheets, sweaters, a trouser, and other clothes.”
The cops are now examining CCTV footages of all 11 stations from Surat to Virar. The police officials have ruled out robbery as a motive for the murder and have registered a case of murder against unknown persons.
