Burnt body of youth found near Narela flyover: Cops

NEW DELHI: In a shocking incident early Sunday morning, the body of a young man with burnt marks was discovered in a jungle area near the Narela Bhawana flyover in outer north Delhi’s Narela locality.

The police were alerted about the incident through a PCR call received at the Narela Police Station.

According to the police, they received a PCR call around 7:30 am and swiftly responded to the scene, where they found the deceased lying approximately 10 meters inside from the road.

The body, partially burnt, was initially unidentified and appeared to belong to a male aged between 20 and 25 years.

Further inspection led to the discovery of a Royal Enfield motorcycle lying about 150 meters ahead from the body.

The crime scene was cordoned off and examined by the district crime team and a forensic science laboratory (FSL) unit, who conducted a thorough inspection for clues and evidence.

The preliminary investigation suggested foul play, and the condition of the body indicated an attempt to destroy evidence by burning.

He was around 20-years-old. His identity was confirmed through local inquiries and family contact.

is now underway.

Authorities are exploring possible motives behind the killing and attempting to trace the sequence of events leading to the crime.
