Uttar Pradesh: Third body dumped on Yamuna Expressway in 3 days

AGRA: A body of an unidentified woman was found dumped on the Yamuna Expressway near milestone 129 in Mathura’s Baldeo area on Thursday, almost 48 hours after police had recovered the bodies of two unidentified children on the highway.
All the bodies were found on the Noida-Agra route.
The woman’s body bore several injury marks, just like those found on the bodies of the children, who were dumped within a 5-km stretch near milestones 74 and 79 in the Naujheel and Surir area in Mathura on Tuesday morning.
Police said it appeared that the woman’s body had been thrown there two or three days ago.
Shirish Chandra, superintendent of police (rural), said the deceased seemed to be about 35 years old, had a tattoo of “Om” (in Hindi) on her right hand and appeared to be married. The description of the woman and details of her identification marks have been circulated to neighbouring districts and states in a bid to identify her, he further said. Chandra added that so far, no one had come forward to claim the two children’s bodies either. Their post-mortem has been conducted and the report is awaited, he said.
The SP also told TOI that plans are afoot to step up policing on the expressway and more CCTV cameras will be installed on the route to monitor the movement of vehicles. “We are working in this direction and will take help from other stakeholders if required,” Chandra said.
