A woman's dismembered body was found in a drain in a posh Noida locality on Thursday, creating panic among residents. The body was found in a severely mutilated state, with both hands and the head severed, the police said, adding that efforts were underway to identify the victim.

The condition of the body has made identification challenging and has led the police to believe that the murder may have occurred elsewhere before the body was dumped in the drain in Sector 108, possibly in an attempt to conceal the victim's identity.

An official on the scene explained that a team has been constituted for a thorough investigation and all possible leads are being pursued.

Forensic experts have been called in to collect evidence from the scene, and the area around the drain has been cordoned off.
