In a chilling discovery that has sent shockwaves through Khunti district, Jharkhand, locals stumbled upon the body of an unidentified young woman by the Fulku River in Dondma village under Torpa police station limits on Wednesday morning. The gruesome find, spotted by villagers out for a morning walk, prompted immediate alerts to authorities, sparking widespread panic in the surrounding areas.
Torpa police station in-charge Mukesh Yadav, along with Sub-Inspector Roshan Khakha and a team of armed personnel, rushed to the scene. They swiftly cordoned off the area, secured the body, and launched preliminary investigations. Forensic teams collected crucial evidence from the site, while officers began questioning nearby residents for leads.
Initial assessments at the scene point strongly toward foul play. Suspicion lingers that the woman was strangled with her own dupatta, the scarf tightly wound around her neck. However, police caution against jumping to conclusions until the post-mortem report arrives. The body has been sent for autopsy, with medical experts expected to shed light on the exact cause of death soon.
As of now, the woman’s identity remains a mystery. Investigators are cross-referencing missing persons reports and circulating her images on social media to aid identification. The police have urged the public to report any suspicious activities or information that could crack the case.
Authorities emphasize that the probe is being treated with utmost seriousness. With evidence mounting and community cooperation sought, they assure a swift breakthrough in this disturbing case. The incident underscores ongoing concerns about women’s safety in rural Jharkhand, prompting calls for heightened vigilance.
