Rotting Corpse of Woman Found in Bengaluru; Husband Absconding

Body Found in Advanced Stage of Decomposition

In a grim discovery that has sent shockwaves through a Bengaluru neighbourhood, the rotting corpse of a woman was found on Friday, with police suspecting foul play. The body, which was in an advanced stage of decomposition, was recovered from a residence, prompting an immediate investigation.

Authorities have identified the deceased as a woman whose husband is now absconding. The man, whose name has not been officially released pending family notification, is believed to have fled after the body was discovered.

Police Launch Manhunt

Senior police officials confirmed that a case of unnatural death has been registered, and teams have been formed to trace the missing husband. “We are looking into all angles, including the possibility of murder,” a senior officer told reporters at the scene.

The body has been sent for post-mortem to determine the exact cause and time of death. Sources indicate that the woman may have been dead for several days before the body was found, as neighbours reported a strong odour emanating from the house.

Neighbours Raise Alarm

According to local residents, the couple had been living in the area for a few years but kept to themselves. “We didn’t see the woman for a while, but we didn’t think much of it. Then the smell started,” said a neighbour, who requested anonymity.

It was only after repeated complaints from residents that authorities were alerted, leading to the discovery. The police have cordoned off the area and are conducting a forensic examination of the premises.

Investigation Underway

While the motive behind the alleged crime is yet to be established, investigators are probing possible domestic disputes. The couple’s mobile phone records and call details are being scrutinised to piece together their last interactions.

Officials have not yet confirmed whether any prior complaints were filed by the woman against her husband. The police are also checking if the man has any relatives or associates in other cities who might be harbouring him.

What to Watch

The post-mortem report, expected within the next few days, is likely to be crucial in determining whether this was a murder or an unnatural death. Meanwhile, the manhunt continues, with police urging the public to share any information about the absconding husband’s whereabouts.
