A decomposed body of a man, aged around 35 years, was found near one of the French wells of the Vadodara Municipal Corporation in Mahisagar river near Poicha Rayka on Sunday. A murder case was registered at the Bhadarwa police station against unidentified person.

Police said that the man was murdered, as his hands were tied at the back and a rope was also found around his neck which could have been used to strangulate him. “The body was found by the workers of the well and they informed us. We fished out the body and the post-mortem was conducted on Monday,” said a police official. He added that the post-mortem will reveal whether the man was strangulated and then his body was thrown in the river or whether he was pushed in the river alive and he died by drowning.

No identification cards were found from the pockets, so police are investigating in nearby villages if any person went missing in the last couple of months. “The body was decomposed so it will be difficult to identify from the face but the clothes were intact so that should help in ascertaining the identity,” the police official added.
