Police suspect that the victim, aged between 30-35 years, might have been murdered somewhere else and her body dumped by the sewer near Raheja College, which was spotted by joggers at around 7:45 AM.
"The woman's throat was slit. It appears that she might have been murdered at some other place and the accused had dumped her body near the drainage," said an officer at Santacruz police station.
