The incident occurred in Bhiwandi’s Saroli Pada. The residents called police stating that an odour was coming out of the closed house. The person who used to live there was not seen for the past few days. Bhiwandi Taluka police officers reached the spot, broke open the door and found the woman in a pool of blood.

An officer from Bhiwandi Taluka police said, “Our team immediately did the panchnama and started searching for the accused. The woman was beaten with a heavy object and due to severe head injury, she died. The body seems like two days old. We are yet to identify the woman as no one could recognise her. A team has gone to UP in search of the house owner.”
