Anganwadi worker found dead

A woman anganwadi worker was found dead under mysterious conditions at a village in the district, police said today.
The blood-stained body of the 36-year-old woman having injury marks was found behind the anganwadi building at Boli village under Paraswada police station limits yesterday.
The body was found in a half-naked state which led to the suspicion that she might have been raped before being killed, Paraswada police station in-charge Surendra Gadaria said.
In a statement to police, the woman's younger son said that when he did not find his mother at home, he informed his elder brother about it and they reached the anganwadi building in search of her.

The duo later found her body behind the building and blood stains in the courtyard and on paddy crop bags, he said.
They raised an alarm following which neighbours gathered and informed police, who arrived there and later sent the body for autopsy.

The post-mortem report is awaited to find out more details regarding the offence and to ascertain if the woman was raped, police said.
A case under sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence) of the IPC has been registered against unidentified persons, police said adding that further investigation was on.
Superintendent of Police Gaurav Tiwari held a meeting with other police officials last evening in connection with the incident.

The motive behind the murder was yet to be ascertained, police added.
