Bengaluru, Karnataka – May 21, 2025:
In a chilling incident that has sent shockwaves across Karnataka, the body of a young woman was discovered stuffed inside a suitcase near a railway bridge on the outskirts of Bengaluru. The gruesome discovery was made early Tuesday morning near the Sarjapura-Hosur railway stretch, a semi-rural area that connects Bengaluru to the Tamil Nadu border.
According to police officials, the suitcase was first noticed by local residents who immediately alerted authorities. Upon opening it, police discovered the decomposed body of a woman, estimated to be in her early 20s. The identity of the victim remains unknown at this time.
Initial Investigation Underway
Law enforcement officials from the Bengaluru Rural district and forensic experts rushed to the scene shortly after receiving the alert. The body has been sent to Victoria Hospital for post-mortem examination to determine the cause and time of death.
A senior police official involved in the investigation stated, “We suspect the body was dumped here at least 48 hours ago. The suitcase appears to have been deliberately abandoned near the bridge, likely during the night.”
Authorities are now examining CCTV footage from nearby areas and coordinating with missing persons databases across Karnataka and neighboring states in an effort to identify the victim. Sniffer dogs and forensic teams were also deployed to collect any possible evidence at the scene.
Police Suspect Foul Play
While the exact cause of death has not been disclosed, police sources suggest signs of foul play. Preliminary assessments indicate the woman may have been murdered elsewhere before being transported to the railway site.
The suitcase in which the body was found is being treated as a critical piece of evidence. Investigators are also examining whether the case has any links to previous missing person reports or similar cases across the state.
Residents Express Fear and Shock
