The body of an unidentified minor girl was discovered near a construction site in Maharashtra’s Thane city, police said on Sunday. A case of murder has been registered, and an investigation is underway, reported PTI.
According to an officer from the police control room, the girl’s body was found on Saturday afternoon near a road in front of a construction site in the Kasarvadavali area. She had a hood tightly wrapped around her neck, prompting police to suspect foul play behind the death.

Her body has been sent for post-mortem examination, and photographs have been circulated among law enforcement agencies to assist with identification.
