The body of an unidentified woman with multiple injuries was found in the bushes near a roadside in Anandapur village, located on the southern outskirts of Kolkata, on Wednesday. The discovery comes amidst ongoing public outrage over the recent rape and murder of a trainee doctor in the city.
The gruesome discovery was made by local residents, who immediately notified the authorities. Police have since sent the body for an autopsy and have launched an investigation into the case. The woman’s identity remains unknown at this time, with further details expected as the investigation progresses.
Woman Unfamiliar to Local Residents
Reports suggest that the woman does not appear to be from the nearby locality, as residents who found her body in the Anandapur bushes were unable to identify her. The police have registered a case and are awaiting the autopsy results to determine the exact cause of death.
This incident adds to the growing unrest in West Bengal, where protests have erupted following the horrific rape and murder of a junior doctor at the state-run R G Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The discovery of another woman’s body in Anandapur is likely to intensify public discontent with the state administration.
Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder Case
The city was recently rocked by the tragic case of a 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor, who was allegedly raped and murdered while on duty at R G Kar Medical College on August 9. Her semi-naked body was discovered in the hospital’s seminar hall. The following day, a civic volunteer was arrested in connection with the heinous crime. Subsequently, the Calcutta High Court transferred the investigation from the Kolkata Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
