Blood oozing, foul smell: Grisly discovery inside a bag on Tamil Nadu Express

A message was immediately relayed to Agra.

As the train arrived at Agra Cantt railway station around 5 am on Wednesday, personnel from the Government Railway Police (GRP) and the Railway Protection Force (RPF) boarded the general coach, located the bag and removed it from the train.

“On opening the trolley bag, we found decomposed human remains. The recovered body parts included a leg and what appeared to be a portion of the abdomen. The remains were wrapped in a polythene sheet bearing the word ‘Chennai’,” said Rajeev Dixit, Circle Officer, GRP.

Police have sent the recovered remains for a post-mortem examination and its report is awaited.

Dixit said a team has been formed which will travel to Chennai as part of the probe to gather information that could help identify the victim and trace the circumstances in which the body parts were placed on the train.

“Based on the recovered remains, we suspect the victim was a male, although this will be confirmed after the post-mortem examination and forensic analysis,” he said.
