Decomposed body found in roadside nullah

The decomposed body of a man was recovered from a roadside gutter near Love Grove Waste Water Treatment Plant at Worli this morning, police said.

The victim - believed to be in his 40s - was found in the gutter by passersby, who notified the police.

"At about 11 AM, our men rushed to the spot and the body, which was in a decomposed state but not very badly, was sent to the government-run hospital for post mortem," Sunil Jain, said Senior Inspector at Worli police station.

It was very premature to comment on whether it was a case of suicide or murder, Jain said adding "after receiving the post mortem report, things will be clear."
 

However, sources said no grievous injury marks were visible on the body.
