In the gruesome discovery, a 26-year-old woman’s body was found cut into approximately 30 pieces and kept inside a refrigerator in an apartment in Vyalikaval area of Bengaluru. The neighbors who had informed the police said they alerted them after noticing a foul smell coming from the flat.
Investigation Underway
The police believe that the body parts have been kept in the fridge for some time. The Additional Commissioner of Police (West) Satish Kumar said that the woman has been identified and that she was living in Bengaluru but originally hails from another state. The crime scene has been ringed by a dog squad and a fingerprint team. Forensic experts have also been summoned to probe further.

Comparing the Shraddha Walkar Case:
This shocking case reminds one of the 2022 murder case of Shraddha Walkar, who was killed by her boyfriend Aaftab Amin Poonawala. That murderer had chopped the 27-year-old’s body into 35 pieces and disposed of them in a nearby forest. The similarities between the two cases have refreshed the renewed discussions on violent crimes and the alarming nature of these incidents.
The investigation in Bengaluru is still open, and more details are sure to emerge when police follow the broad strokes of this tragic sequence of events.
