The body was tied up in 'Mummy' style, a police officer said.
"We are yet to get the post mortem report to find the cause and time of death. The body was decomposed. We are scrutinising the missing person's complaint in nearby areas. A case of murder has been registered," senior police inspector Ashok Rajput of Panvel taluka police station said.

The cops suspect that the womman could be from one of the nearby villages.
