Police close to cracking Delhi ‘parcel’ body case


New Delhi: Delhi Police on Monday inched closer to solving the mystery related to a decomposed body of a young girl, which was parceled to Ajmer recently, after a family hailing from Jalandhar claimed that it could be their missing daughter.
According to reports, two members from a Jalandhar-based family approached the Lahori Gate Police Station after they came to know through media reports about an unclaimed body of a young girl found by the Rajasthan police.
The family told Delhi Police officials that their daughter is missing since March 13 and also gave her photographs to them for verification. After matching the photographs with that of the victim’s, Delhi Police has claimed of a striking similarity between the two.
In view of the development, the family is now being taken to Kishangarh in Ajmer district, where the victim's body has been kept in a freezer at the Yagya Narayan hospital.
The matter came to light on April 08, when the workers of a cargo company complained of foul smell coming out of a tin container under which the girl’s body was hidden.
After initial investigation, it was found that the parcel was sent from Old Delhi to Ajmer in Rajasthan on March 31.
Police suspects that woman was brutally tortured and murdered as there were burn injuries and stab wounds on her body.
Although, the efforts are on to nab the killer, the investigation so far has revealed that the body was parceled by Milap Transport Roadlines from the Lahori Gate area in north Delhi to its branch in Kishangarh in Ajmer.
Police claims that the suspected sender of the sender, who could possibly be the killer, has been identified as 'B' and the receiver was mentioned as 'self' in the transport slip.
The dispatch date mentioned in the slip was March 31, so the body could be at least one to two week old.
Meanwhile, a team of Rajasthan Police is also in Delhi to investigate the matter.
Police has also blamed the transport company for its sheer negligence in not properly verifying the names of the sender and the receiver of the parcel in the transportation slip.
