Again on January 4, railway police came across a siilar incident where the decomposing body of a young woman was discovered from a blue plastic drum abandoned at the end of platform number 1 at the Yeshwanthpur railway station.
According to police, said the body was bought from Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh and dumped at the railway station.
