KOLKATA: A tribal woman in West Bengal’s Burdwan district was found living with the decomposed body of her father, police said on Sunday. This came to light on Saturday when the stench coming out of a house in Mukhtarpaar made the locals suspicious and they approached the police. Police, who subsequently disposed of the body, said it was preserved in keeping with a tribal practice. “We found the decomposed body of Panchu Soren who must have died at least 4-5 days ago,” said a police officer.
