Mumbai: <\/b><\/p>\n
In a shocking incident, the body of a 53-year-old woman was found inside a plastic bag in Mumbai’s Lalbhaug area on Wednesday, police said, adding that the body was kept in a closet for months. The woman’s daughter, 21, has been taken in for questioning.<\/p>\n
The dead woman’s brother and nephew registered a missing persons\u00a0complaint at Kalachowki police station on Tuesday, DCP Pravin Mundhe said. On searching the first-floor apartment, the woman’s decomposing body was found inside a plastic bag.<\/p>\n
Police have detained the woman’s daughter and are interrogating her. Cause of death in the case is yet to be ascertained and the woman’s body has been sent for post-mortem.<\/p>\n
Many incidents where bodies of murder victims are found in their homes have been reported in the last few months. In Delhi’s Shraddha Walkar murder case, 28-year-old Aaftab Poonawala allegedly killed his live-in partner and kept parts of her body in a refrigerator he bought for the purpose, and then scattered those, one by one, across the city’s Mehrauli forest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
