A 32-year-old model identified as Aanchal Yadav was found dead in Balod district of Chhattisgarh. The locals discovered Yadav’s body floating in a pond, tied with a heavy stone.
As per the reports, deceased’ hands and legs were tied with a rope in order to prevent it from floating, however, her body got stuck to surface and began floating in a pond in Guroor region.
Locals, on spotting the floating body in the pond, alerted the police.
An official familiar with the investigation into Yadav’s murder told reporters that there were injury marks on her body and signs of stabbing on her abdomen. Pictures of her body were circulated by police on social media which led to people identifying her with the help of a tattoo on her hand. Her family was informed and later identified the body found in the lake as hers.
Few media reports suggest that Police personnel investigating the matter revealed that preliminary investigation has led them to suspect foul play prompting them to refrain from ruling out the possibility of murder.
A resident of Dhamtari district who worked as a model, Yadav was often photographed attending gatherings organised by the who’s who of state’s capital.
