The decomposed body of a 37-year-old woman was recovered from her house in Maiganga village under Khowai district of Tripura late on Saturday night. Police suspect foul play in the death.

According to reports, villagers alerted police after detecting a foul odour emanating from the woman’s residence, located about five kilometres from the Teliamura police station. Upon reaching the site, the police discovered the body stuffed inside a plastic sack.

“Circumstantial evidence suggests this was not a suicide. It appears to be a murder case, though the exact cause of death will be known after a detailed investigation,” said Jayanta Dey, Officer-in-Charge of Teliamura police station. A forensic team has also examined the scene for evidence.
