Body wrapped in plastic found in Hyd water tank

HYDERABAD: The Cyberabad police on Monday formed three teams to investigate the killing of a middleaged woman, whose highly decomposed body wrapped in a plastic bag was found floating in a tank at Borabanda in Hyderabad on Saturday morning.

“We are yet to establish the identity of the deceased and find out the killer. We have formed three teams to investigate into the incident,” K Chandrasekhar Reddy, police inspector, Sanathnagar, said on Monday.

Some locals in the Borabanda area found the body of the woman packed in a plastic bag floating in a small tank on Saturday morning, police said.

On receiving the information, the police rushed to the spot and shifted the body to a mortuary, where it is preserved for postmortem examination.

“The hands and legs of the woman were tied with a cloth and the body was stashed in a plastic bag. We suspect she was murdered elsewhere and the body was dumped in the tank later,” the inspector said.
