Jaipur, Apr 2 (PTI) Police have recovered the partially burnt body of a man stuffed in a plastic sack in an open plot here, officials said on Thursday.

Police suspect that in a bid to hide the deceased’s identity, the accused used some flammable chemical to set the body on fire, leaving it partially burnt.

“Preliminary investigation suggests that the man was murdered at some other location, stuffed in a large plastic sack, and then dumped in the open plot near the Niwaru Puliya late at night,” police said.

A passerby spotted the body on Thursday morning and informed the police control room, after which a team from the Kardhani police station reached the spot.

“CCTV camera footage from the area is being scanned. Efforts are underway to ascertain the identity of the deceased,” police said. PTI SDA SMV SMV ARI ARI
