"The matter came to light at about 9.30 AM yesterday after a man walking past the dumping yard behind NTPC saw some dogs digging in a dump of ash. Taking a closer look, he found that they were tugging at a human leg," police said.
He immediately raised an alarm that drew the attention of some CISF personnel passing through the area.
The dogs were shooed away, police immediately informed and the body was dug out and sent to AIIMS mortuary where it is likely to be preserved for upto 72 hours for identification purposes.
Police said they suspected she belonged to Delhi and all police stations in and around the national capital have been asked to report about any complaint of missing woman.
