BENGALURU: The lifeless body of an unidentified girl was found inside a suitcase near the Chandapura railway bridge in Anekal taluk on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Wednesday afternoon.
The suitcase was discovered near the railway bridge adjacent to Hosur Main Road, and it is suspected that it may have been thrown out of a moving train.
The Surya City police have launched an investigation and are trying to identify the girl and the circumstances surrounding her death. The suitcase will be examined further after the arrival of the Railway Police from Baiyappanahalli.
Bengaluru Rural SP C K Baba said, “We are currently investigating the case. It seems that someone may have thrown the suitcase from the railway property, most likely from a moving train. Normally, such cases fall under the jurisdiction of the Railway Police, but since it is likely related to our jurisdiction, we are registering a case. The body was found inside the suitcase and there was nothing else in it, no identity card or any other items. The person appears to be 18 years of age or older, but we are yet to establish the identity. That is all we have at this stage. It seems that the incident took place elsewhere and the suitcase was thrown from a moving train. We will take up the case and investigate further”.
