"The out-of-use canal is some 3-feet deep. It is so isolated that it would be difficult to hear if someone screamed from there. The lower half of her body was mostly burnt, but the upper body was majorly fine. Her husband had filed a missing report on Thursday," said senior PI Mole.
A daily-wage mason, the woman’s husband Tara Rathod lived in Vitthal Nagar area in Warje with the deceased woman, according to the police.
