Body of a woman, whose face was
apparently disfigured with acid, was today found in an unclaimed box in Guwahati-Bikaner train at a junction in Bikaner district, GRP sources said.
On complaint of foul smell emanating from the train which reached Lalgarh junction at 5:40 AM, GRP reached the spot and found a locked box, SHO, GRP, Subhash Bishnoi said.
"The box was broken open on the platform and it was found to be containing the dead body. Prima facie, the death seems to have occurred two days ago," Bishnoi said.
He said apparently acid was thrown on her face to destroy her identity. The woman was wearing orange colour salwar and cream colour top.
There was no injury mark on the body and the cause of the death would be clear only after postmortem, he said.
