Vineet Bhatnagar, the assistant superintendent of police, said the woman's injuries indicate she may have died around a day before her body was found. "A police team, along with forensic experts, arrived promptly at the scene to investigate," he added. The area around the suitcase was cordoned off as officers carried out a detailed examination. The woman's body has been sent for a post-mortem examination to ascertain further details.

Police are also reviewing CCTV footage from the area and have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
