A partially burnt body of an unidentified person was found near the Musi nala at Golnaka here on Sunday morning.
Residents of the area, who happened to see the partly burnt body, immediately alerted the police, who rushed to the spot and inspected the body.
The police strongly suspect that the culprits might have tied the hands and legs of the victim together and set afire after wrapping the body in a blanket. They also did not rule out the possibility of the culprits killing the victim elsewhere that dumped the body at the Musi nala in the early hours.
The police have registered a case and taken up investigation. (NSS)
