Noida: A gruesome sight awaited residents in Noida’s upscale Sector 108 on Thursday morning, as the headless and unclothed body of a woman was found floating in a drain. Authorities confirmed that the woman’s identity remains unknown, and her palms had also been severed.

Police suspect the woman may have been murdered elsewhere, with her body subsequently dismembered and dumped at the site. Officers from Sector 39 Police Station responded swiftly after receiving an alert and transported the remains to a hospital for post-mortem examination.
