In a disturbing incident, the half-burnt body of an unidentified woman was discovered in the forested area surrounding the Padmalaya Mandir in Jalgaon on Wednesday. The grim find has prompted a thorough investigation by local authorities, with the case officially registered at the Erandol Police Station.
Discovery and Initial Response
The body was located on Wednesday evening by herdsmen who were passing through the woods near the famous Padmalaya Mandir in the taluka. According to Inspector Nilesh Gayakwad, the upper half of the body was severely burnt, rendering it unrecognizable. A post-mortem examination was promptly conducted on Thursday to gather initial forensic evidence.

Police Efforts to Identify the Victim

As the investigation continues, authorities remain committed to uncovering the truth behind this tragic discovery and bringing any perpetrators to justice.
