New Delhi, In southeast Delhi's Lajpat Nagar area the highly decomposed body of an unidentified man, aged around 35 years, was found yesterday inside a jute bag at a garbage dump.

An auto-rickshaw driver spotted the bag, with a visible human leg coming out and intolerable foul smell surrounding it. And after that he raised an alarm and called up the police control room.

A senior police official said, "The jute bag was opened and a man s body was found stuffed inside. There were visible injury marks on the man s body which suggested that he was murdered somewhere else and his body was dumped in a garbage site at Jal Vihar colony in Lajpat Nagar to mislead the police".

A case of murder has been registered in connection with the matter and efforts are on to find out the identity of man.
