A mysterious case has emerged in Odisha following the discovery of a woman’s body in a partially buried state on the Kathajodi riverbed in Cuttack on Thursday. This shocking find has caused alarm among local residents and attracted the attention of police officials. Preliminary reports suggest that the body may have surfaced due to decomposition occurring underground, potentially uncovered by stray dogs digging in the sand-covered area.

Upon receiving the report, personnel from the Baranga police station promptly arrived at the scene to initiate an investigation.
