“Due to poor visibility at night, we could not begin a full search operation. Initial investigation suggests that the woman was murdered elsewhere and her body was dumped near the tracks,” said Singh. “We have registered a case of murder against an unknown person and will review CCTV footage from the area on Friday.”
