Kanpur: Police have launched a search for two people who allegedly tried to take a woman’s dead body in a gunny bag by booking a taxi in Maharajpur area of the district on Tuesday. ACP Chakeri Amarnath Yadav told that the cab driver alerted the PRV team deployed on the highway.
In preliminary investigation, the police came to know that a woman named Kusum (55) was missing from a nearby village. On questioning the local people, it is feared that the woman was murdered by her two nephews in a dispute over ancestral property. However, the police are yet to confirm the murder as the body of the woman has not been recovered,” said the ACP. “The search operation is on and police are on the lookout for the nephews of the woman who are missing from their home,” he added.
Cab driver Manoj Kumar, a resident of Bharatpur, Rajasthan, first informed the PRV Dial-112 personnel about the incident at around 2.30 pm on Tuesday night. Later he reached Maharajpur police station and informed the police. He told the police that two youths had booked his taxi from Noida and brought him to Madauli village in Kanpur. “He was again asked to take her back to Noida from Kanpur the same night. After this, he loaded two gunny bags in the trunk of the car. One sack seemed to be full of grain, while the other was stirring and oozing blood.
He then escaped from there and alerted the PRV personnel deployed on the highway and then contacted the Maharajpur police.
