Missing woman found dead in Dhankot canal in Gurugram

The decomposed body of a woman, who had been missing for the past three days, was recovered from the Dhankot canal. The deceased was identified as Monam (29), a resident of Devilal Colony.

Passers-by spotted the woman's body in the water on Thursday morning and immediately informed the police. After getting information, a police team reached the spot and retrieved the body from the canal with the help of divers.

After recovering the body, the police initiated identification efforts and established that the deceased was Monam, a resident of Devilal Colony. Around eight months ago, her husband died after accidentally falling from the roof.

According to Monam's family members, she left home without informing anyone at around 2 pm on August 10. When she did not return for a long time, the family searched for her among relatives and in the surrounding areas, but could not find her. Subsequently, they lodged a missing person complaint at the New Colony police station.

The police registered an FIR yesterday and launched a search for the woman. However, the news of her death emerged on Thursday morning.

“The body has been sent to the mortuary for a post-mortem examination. We are awaiting the autopsy report to know the exact cause of her death,” said the police.
