JAMSHEDPUR – A body was found near Baroda Ghat under Bagbera police station limits on Wednesday, triggering panic in the locality.
Local residents first spotted the body and alerted police. Word of the discovery quickly spread across the neighbourhood.
Bagbera police reached the spot soon after receiving the information. Officers have since begun investigating the circumstances surrounding the death.
Police have taken custody of the body and started the identification process. However, the deceased’s identity remains unconfirmed as of Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile, the exact circumstances of the death are also still unclear. Investigators said several possibilities are being examined at this stage.
Police said a probe into the matter is underway. The cause of death is expected to be established only after the post-mortem report is received.
