A man’s body was found chopped into pieces and stuffed in two travel bags in an open field in outer Delhi’s Najafgarh on Saturday morning. The police have registered a case and sent the body for post mortem.
Spotted by rag pickers
The red-coloured travel bags were spotted around 11 a.m., by a few rag pickers who came to the field behind a temple in the area.
They opened the bags and upon seeing body parts, they immediately informed a passersby who called the police.
“His face, legs, arms, torso and other parts were cut into separate pieces, placed in a polythene bag and stuffed in two bags,” said a senior police officer, adding that the victim appeared to be around 35-years-old.
The police said they found ‘Om’ tattooed on his arm which they believe will help identify the victim.
The police said there were no blood stains found around the bags, leading them to suspect that he was murdered elsewhere and his body brought to the field later.
Post mortem report
“His body has been sent for post mortem. Details on the time of death and weapons that may have been used will be established after the report is received,” said the officer.
