: The body of a woman, with its lower portion missing, was found in south Delhi’s Amar Colony on Saturday.
According to the police, the body, suspected to be one-day old, was stuffed inside a black travel bag and dumped in an open drain near a bus stand on Captain Gaur Marg near Garhi village T-point.
A local who had gone near the drain around 10.30 a.m. to urinate spotted the bag. At first, he thought that the bag contained cash. However, when he went near it, he sensed foul smell coming from the bag and immediately alerted the police.
