The Malwani police is investigating the murder case of a youngster whose body was found on Monday morning in Malad (west). The body was pulled out from the mangroves and efforts are on to identify it.
According to an investigating official from the Malwani police station, the murder came to light when locals of a Malwani church alerted the police control room. The body was lying in the mangroves below a nullah near Marve Beach on Marve Road.
“We received a phone call at around 10.45 am after which a police van was rushed to the spot,” said a police official. The body has been sent for an autopsy to Bhagwati Hospital in Borivali (west).
“There are injury marks on the body and the throat has been slit. Based on the nature of injuries, we have registered a case of murder under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Malwani police station,” informed Jaywant Hargude, assistant commissioner of police, Malwani division.
The deceased is aged between 20 to 25 years. He is dressed in a T-shirt and trousers. The police believes that he may be a local, but there are no clues yet. “He does not have a cellphone or an identity card. We could not find anything on his body that could ascertain his identity,” Mr Hargude said.
