Investigators suspect that she was hit on the head before her body was wrapped in a bedsheet and placed inside the autorickshaw, NDTV reported.
Police believe the accused fled the scene soon after abandoning the vehicle. “We suspect the involvement of someone familiar to the victim. We have obtained some clues and are confident of making an arrest soon,” a police official said, according to the publication.
Officers from the Tilaknagar police station and a forensic team visited the spot and conducted an initial inspection. The body was later sent to Victoria Hospital for post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
