Woman's body found inside suitcase near railway bridge in Bengaluru
In March, the body of a 32-year-old woman named Guri Khedekar was found inside a suitcase near Ambedkar Apartment in Doddanekundi Village, Bengaluru.
The body of an unidentified young woman was found stuffed in a suitcase near the old Chandapura railway bridge on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Wednesday.
Police suspect that the victim might have been killed somewhere else, and the suspect stuffed her body in a suitcase and threw it from a moving train. The suitcase was found near the railway tracks near Hosur main road.
A detailed investigation is expected to begin once the Byappanahalli railway police open and examine the suitcase.

Bengaluru Rural SP C.K. Baba said, “Normally, such cases fall under the jurisdiction of the railway police, but since it is likely related to our area, we are registering a case. The body was found inside the suitcase, and there was nothing else in it, no identity card or any other items. The person appears to be 18 years of age or older, but we are yet to establish the identity. That is all we have at this stage. It seems that the incident took place elsewhere, and the suitcase was thrown from a moving train. We will take up the case and investigate further.”
