Police recovered the bloodied body of an unidentified woman from the Sonajhuri forest area near Santiniketan in West Bengal’s Birbhum district early Thursday morning, triggering shock and panic in the local community.
According to initial police reports, the body was found lying near the edge of the forest with a scarf tied tightly around the neck, suggesting possible strangulation. Local residents first discovered the body and alerted authorities.
Police sources and eyewitnesses said the woman had visible injuries, including signs of blunt trauma to her face and eyes. Investigators suspect the woman may have been murdered elsewhere and the body dumped at the spot.
Sensing the gravity of the situation, Officer-in-Charge of Santiniketan Police Station, Dolim Mondal, arrived at the scene. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination.
Police have launched a formal investigation and are currently reviewing footage from several CCTV cameras installed in the area. Investigators said they are hopeful of making a breakthrough in the case soon.
