Semi-nude man found murdered with head smashed

Nagpur: A partially decomposed body of an unidentified man, in his late 20s, was found in semi-nude condition at Babu Hardas ghat in Kamptee on outskirts of city, on Friday. The head was smashed, with some portion of it missing.
Police have also found semen stains on the victim’s clothes, leading to suspicion abut some sexual assault or activities.
The New Kamptee police and crime branch have started investigation to establish the victim’s identity. Police found an empty wallet lying near the body. A fishing hook was also found, leaving a doubt whether the victim or any of the assailants belonged to the fisherman community. The place where the body was found is close to Kanhan river.
Cops also found an empty bottle and a paver block, which may have been used for the assault.
Zonal DCP Neelotpal said the inner vest of the victim was torn and rolled onto the stomach, which is a telltale sign of struggle. “We are probing the case from every angle. The trouser and underwear were probably removed after murder,” he said.
A senior officer from the New Kamptee police station said missing complaints from adjoining police stations in city and rural are being scanned to get a clue. “A family from Kanhan turned up at the police station to identify the body as their son too was missing from last two days. But it was not him,” he said.
