Gorai police were informed by residents of Babar Pada in the early hours of Monday about a foul smell emitting from bushes on a road near the beach. On arriving at the spot, the police found seven bags, each containing parts of a human body.

“The body parts were stuffed into seven different plastic bags that were dumped in an open area surrounded by bushes on a road leading to a resort,” said an officer from Gorai police station.

“We are checking missing complaints in Mumbai and outside areas to locate the next of kin of the deceased,” said the officer.
