Around 11.30 am on Sunday, some locals called up the Juhu police and informed them about the body, following which they reached the spot and recovered it. According to the police, the deceased had long hair and beard and was aged between 25 and 35. Officers suspect he was murdered two days ago. The body was taken to Cooper Hospital for a post-mortem.
Sources said the tattoos included a heart-shaped one on his hand, 'Avatar' written on his right forearm and the words 'Pravin' and 'Parveen' on his chest. The cops also found a steel pendant attached to a black thread, a steel kada on his right wrist and a black string around his right ankle.
An officer said, "We are scanning the missing persons' records to identify the deceased. A case under sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender) of the IPC has been registered in the matter." The cops suspect the man was beaten to death as he had head injuries. They are probing if he was first killed and then dumped in the nullah.
