A woman in Andhra Pradesh's West Godavari district received a parcel containing the body of an unidentified person. The horrific incident was reported from Yendagandi village in Undi mandal of West Godavari district.
A letter was also found in the parcel, demanding Rs 1.30 crore and warning the family of serious consequences if it failed to meet the demand. According to police, the body is of a man aged about 45 years. Police believe that the person may have died 4-5 days ago.
The woman, identified as Naga Tulsi, had submitted an application to an organisation called Kshatriya Seva Samithi for financial help to construct the house. The Samithi had sent tiles to the woman.
She again petitioned the Kshatriya Seva Samithi for further help in construction. The Samithi had reportedly promised to provide electrical appliances. The applicant had received a message on WhatsApp that she would be provided items like lights, fans, and switches.
A person reportedly delivered a box to the woman at her doorstep on the night of December 19 and left after informing her that it contained electrical appliances.
Tulsi later opened the parcel and found the body of a person.
Her family members were also in a panic. They alerted the police, who rushed to the spot.
The body was shifted to a government hospital for autopsy. Police registered a case and took up an investigation. District Superintendent of Police Adnan Nayeem Asmi also visited the village and investigated the case.
Police were trying to identify the person who delivered the parcel. They have summoned representatives of the Kshatriya Seva Samithi for questioning.
Police have sent the body for autopsy. Investigations were on to find out if the person was murdered.
As part of the investigation, police were verifying missing complaints within the limits of surrounding police stations.
