The case of a murder of a woman whose body was parcelled to Rajasthan from Delhi took a new turn on Sunday. The Rajasthan Police, who are investigating the matter in Capital, have got hold of a CCTV footage from the courier agency from where the box with the body was sent to Ajmer. The footage has an image of man on a rickshaw carrying a box stopping outside the parcel agency.

"The CCTV footage has a man carrying a box in a rickshaw and the box is quite similar to the one that was parcelled to Ajmer. We are now trying to develop the image further so as to identify the man," said a police officer investigating the case.
The identity of the murdered woman is, however, still shrouded in mystery The post-mortem report has confirmed that the deceased had seven stab injuries on her body which had led to her death. The report also confirmed that the woman was aged between 22 and 25 years.
The person who had booked the box for Ajmer at Milap Transport Company in Delhi's Sadar Bazar had identified himself as Pintoo alias Bittoo. He had told the booking clerk at the agency that he himself would receive the parcel in Ajmer. The agency had booked the parcel on April 2 and despatched it on April 3.
The parcel had remained unclaimed at the agency's office in Ajmer for two days. The officials of the agency then opened it on April 8 after the foul stench coming from it became unbearable. The address where it was to be delivered was found to be fake.
The courier agency is supposed to ask for identity proof of all those who book the parcels but the police didn't find any identity proof of the person in this case. The Rajasthan cops are now seeking help of the Delhi police to nab the booker of the parcel.
Bags of shame
