The Tiruppur City Police have commenced an investigation into the presence of the corpse of a deceased woman stuffed into a suitcase, which was found abandoned inside a stormwater drain near Nallur on Monday.
According to the police, morning walkers on the Nallur-Dharapuram Road in Puthu Nagar found one of the slabs covering the drain to have been dislocated, and found a large blue suitcase inside it. After attempting to open it, they found the body of a young woman inside, following which they contacted the police at around 8.15 a.m., the police said.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
