A partly decomposed body of a woman with stab injuries was found in a second class compartment of an empty local train at Kalwa railway car shed on Friday night.

The incident came to light at 11.30 pm when RPF (Railway Protection Force) on duty constable Ajitsingh Kalam  in Kalwa car shed found the body of a woman lying between two seats in the second class compartment of the empty 12 car rake that had arrived from Kalyan. 

Thinking that she was asleep Kalam approached her and tried to wake her up. When she did not respond, he  called the Thane railway police.

The railway police rushed to the spot and found that blood was oozing from her mouth and nose. “She had four stab injuries on her body and we could not find anything near her,” said ACP PV Sardar of Mumbai railway police. He added that the body has been sent to the Thane Civil Hospital. The case has been registered under sections 302 (Murder) and 201 (Causing disappearance of evidence) IPC.

“Rape cannot be ruled out. We will confirm  only after receiving the post mortem report,” Sardar said. It seemsthe woman was stabbed to death by unidentified people 12 hours before. The body was placed  aboard the train  somewhere between Kalwa and Kalyan, when it stopped at a signal. 

“We have formed six police teams to identity the deceased and trace the next of kin or other relatives. The team will visit every police station in the Thane district and Navi Mumbai as well as the slum colony that has mushroomed along the railway tracks between Kalwa and Kalyan to inquire about any woman with similar descriptions, who is missing.” added Sardar.
