Investigations into the dead body of a woman being found near Sarsole creek off Palm Beach road have led the Turbhe police to suspect that she could have been the victim of an honour killing.

Some devotees heading to the temple near the creek on Sunday morning had informed the police that a dead body was lying there. When the Turbhe police reached the spot, they discovered that the body was partly burnt and the victim was a woman, believed to be between 20 and 22 years old.
