From the main road, you have to go inside, it's an isolated area. The gunny bag with the body was thrown into the drain,' he said. He added that the victim appeared to be a male, likely a Hindu, aged between 35 and 40. The SP further said, 'Though we received information about it this morning, the death seems to have occurred at least a week ago. The body was completely decomposed, possibly more than a week old.'Baba also noted that the remote location made it difficult for anyone to notice the body. 'Since it was dumped next to a large drain, people could not smell it easily. Also, the road leading to the spot is rarely used. One would have to step into the drain and cross it to reach the location. So, it seems like a well-planned move to dispose of the body in a secluded place,' he further stated that there is no CCTV at the location of the drain itself, but the police are reviewing footage from surrounding areas in an attempt to trace movements related to the incident follows a similar case in Bengaluru, where the body of a woman was found dumped in a garbage truck on June 29.

Woman stuffed in suitcase and 'thrown from train' as commuter makes grim find
A lifeless body was found stuffed inside a suitcase near a railway bridge in Chandapura, India, and police believe the luggage was thrown from a fast-moving train The body of a woman was found stuffed inside a suitcase near a railway bridge yesterday. The suitcase was thrown from a moving train, police believe, before it was found by a commuter. The lifeless body was the only thing inside the suitcase, making it difficult to identify the victim. Police originally believed the body could be a 10-year-old girl, but it's since been claimed the body might belong to a woman aged at least 18. After attending the scene at the Chandapura railway bridge in Bengalaru, India, Surya City police continued to try and identify the victim and piece together the grim details surrounding her death. Bengaluru Rural SP C K Baba said: 'We are currently investigating the case. It seems that someone may have thrown the suitcase from the railway property, most likely from a moving train. "Normally, such cases fall under the jurisdiction of the Railway Police, but since it is likely related to our jurisdiction, we are registering a case. The body was found inside the suitcase and there was nothing else in it, no identity card or any other items. "The person appears to be 18 years of age or older, but we are yet to establish the identity. That is all we have at this stage. It seems that the incident took place elsewhere and the suitcase was thrown from a moving train. We will take up the case and investigate further." Meanwhile, earlier this year a 29-year-old mum was found dismembered in a suitcase. Horrific CCTV images showed a man pushing the luggage, which contained Uswatun Khasanah's head, legs, and torso. Investigators have revealed that the crime was premeditated by the victim's estranged husband, 33-year-old Rochmat Tri Hartanto, who admitted that he murdered the young beautician. He confessed to killing the mum-of-two out of "resentment" at the way she treated him, claiming that she had only come to see him because she wanted to borrow money. The perpetrator reportedly prepared one million Indonesian Rupiahs (£52) to lure the victim to a hotel before committing the crime. Authorities noted that the victim's body parts were discarded in multiple locations to hinder identification after he was forced to cut up the body so it would fit in the suitcase. Also, just last month a UK scientist's body was found in a suitcase in Colombia. Alessandro Coatti's dismembered body was found in a suitcase dumped in a stream in the Caribbean city of Santa Marta. Police are said to have found only his head, hands and feet and are said to be still searching for his torso and other parts of his body.
