NURPUR, JULY 15

Indora police today recovered a decomposed body of a drug addict, hailing from neighbouring Punjab, from bushes near Thakurdwara Mor in Indora sub-division. The victim identified as Bakshi Ram, 27, was a resident of Adda Hazipur.

The police found an empty syringe near the body and observed a motorcycle parked a few yards away. Since the deceased could not be identified initially, the police informed the surrounding police stations in neighbouring Punjab. The parents of the deceased had filed a missing report in Hazipur (Punjab) police station three days ago. The family rushed to the spot after the police informed them. They confirmed the identity of the body and told the police that the deceased was a drug addict.

Nurpur DSP Sahil Arora said the case had been reported under Section 174 of the CrPC and the body was handed over to the kin after postmortem at Nurpur civil hospital mortuary this afternoon.
