Woman’s body found under train seat in Karnataka; probe underway: Police

A woman's body was discovered concealed under a seat in the women's compartment of a train in Karnataka on Sunday, prompting police to investigate the incident as a potential murder. The deceased is believed to be in her 30s, and her body was found approximately 90 minutes after the train arrived at Dharwad railway station from Solapur in Maharashtra.

Railway staff discovered the body during routine cleaning of the coach around 11 am, following the train's arrival at 9.30 am. Initial examinations revealed injuries on the woman's neck, face, and chest, suggesting she may have been killed during the journey. However, authorities stated that no evidence of sexual assault was found, and the post-mortem examination will provide further insights into the cause and circumstances of her death.

The woman's identity and any prior movements before boarding the train are currently under investigation.
