Unnao (UP), September 2

A police team recovered the partially decomposed body of a woman from a box on the banks of the Lon river here on Saturday, officials said.

The tin box was spotted on a riverbank in Jajanpur village here during a search by the police team conducted after locals complained of stench near the bank, Bighapur Circle Officer Maya Rai said.

On opening the steel box, the police found the body of a woman, who appeared to be in her late thirties, Rai said.

“Prima facie it seems that the body is around 15 days old. It was wrapped in cloth and plastic,” the CO said.

The body has been sent for postmortem and efforts are underway to identify the deceased, she added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
