The woman's body was found floating in a water body within a fisheries area. When recovered, her clothes were in disarray, and multiple wounds were visible on her body.

Local residents informed the police, who retrieved the body and sent it for post-mortem examination.

The police suspect a sharp weapon may have caused the injuries. Villagers believe the condition of the body suggests sexual assault before murder.

However, authorities have not confirmed these claims.
