Investigations Underway After Severed Human Leg Found on Train and Nearby TracksPreviousNext

Railway authorities discovered a severed human leg beneath a train arriving in Mumbai, prompting an investigation to determine its origin. Police are examining accident cases along the train's route, including a mutilated body found in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, and have sought medical and DNA analysis for identification. Separately, in Parli Vaijnath, a body missing a leg was found on railway tracks, with the severed limb recovered nearby, possibly moved by stray dogs. Investigations continue to clarify both incidents and identify the victims.
