In a shocking incident that has sent shockwaves through the community, the body of a 48-year-old woman was discovered in a semi-nude state in the Sen Paschim Para police station area of Kanpur on Friday. The grim discovery has sparked immediate fears of murder following a possible rape, according to preliminary statements from local police authorities.
Discovery and Initial Police Response
Upon being alerted to the situation, police personnel swiftly arrived at the scene to secure the area and initiate a thorough investigation. A forensic team was promptly summoned to the location to meticulously gather crucial evidence that could shed light on the circumstances surrounding the woman's death. The body was subsequently sent for a detailed autopsy to determine the exact cause of death and gather forensic insights.
Victim's Background and Family's Account
The deceased woman, identified as the wife of a labourer, was a resident of the same Sen Paschim Para police station area where her body was found. Her elder son provided a harrowing account of the events leading up to the discovery. He reported that his mother had left their home on Thursday evening to attend a religious event in the locality. When she failed to return by Friday morning, growing concerns prompted him to take action.
The son immediately went to the local police station to file a missing person report but found the station closed at that time. In a tragic turn of events, he later received a distressing call from neighbours informing him that his mother's body had been discovered in a nearby bush area, leading to the grim revelation.
Official Statements and Ongoing Investigation
Pradeep Singh, the officer in charge of the Sen Paschim Para police station, addressed the media regarding the case. He stated that an FIR (First Information Report) will be formally filed based on the findings from the autopsy report and the formal complaint lodged by the family. The police are treating this as a high-priority case and are exploring all possible angles, including the suspicion of sexual assault preceding the murder.
The incident has raised serious concerns about women's safety in the region, with local residents expressing alarm over the brazen nature of the crime. Authorities have assured the public that a comprehensive investigation is underway, and updates will be provided as more information emerges from the forensic and autopsy reports.
