SDOP said, it is suspected the corpse may be that of Vimla Shrivastava (60), an employee of the defunct MP Road Transport Corporation, who was living in that flat with her unemployed  30-year-old son Amit.

The flat was sold eight months ago but the new owner could not take possession since it was locked and he could not contact the mother-son duo. The owner reached the flat to clean it and found the body.
