Mumbai police struggle to find leads in trolley-bag murder case

The police are trying to identify the allegedly murdered boy. They have circulated the boy’s picture to their counterparts across the city while descriptions of missing persons of the boy’s age were also scanned but they are yet to get any lead regarding it.

The city police are yet to establish any conclusive leads in the case where a red trolley bag was discovered the body of a 12-year-old boy on Sunday night. The bag was found at a secluded spot near Shiv-kripa chawl close to Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT).

Sources from the police also said that investigation is underway to check if the boy hails from the areas around Mumbai or even from outside the state. (File photo for representation only)

The CCTV cameras at the LTT captured a man walking with the bag. But he has not been identified yet. “While there are eye-witnesses who saw the man at the platform near the parcel department, no one has seen the man alighting from any vehicle outside the terminus,” said a senior officer.

The police are also trying to identify the allegedly murdered boy. They have circulated the boy’s picture to their counterparts across the city while descriptions of missing persons of the boy’s age were also scanned but they are yet to get any lead regarding it. “With no one from the city coming to claim the body, we suspect that it may have also come from outside the city limits,” said the officer.
