The decomposed body of a bar dancer was found in Chembur yesterday. The deceased, Manju Verma (21), had been staying in Chembur for two years. According to the police, a woman called the Mumbai police control room at around 2 pm yesterday, complaining that a foul smell was emanating from a room in Indira Nagar.

Chembur police reached the spot, opened the locked room with the help of the fire brigade, and found the rotting corpse. Verma’s parents and her brother had also reached the spot. They told the police they’d been trying to call her for the last 4-5 days.
