The highly decomposed body of an unidentified man, believed to be between 35 and 40 years old, was found in the basement of an under-construction commercial building near the KSRTC bus stand, within Urwa police station limits.
The discovery was made around 3 pm on June 28, when a worker entered the basement to inspect a water supply issue. The partially flooded space had nearly three feet of water, where the body was floating in an advanced state of decomposition.
Urwa police officers, along with crime scene specialists and forensic experts, visited the site and carried out preliminary investigations.
A murder case has been filed under Crime No. 57/2025, citing Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023.
Authorities are working to establish the man’s identity and uncover the cause and circumstances of his death.
