Late on Tuesday night, traffic on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway was held up for a while, after a motorist spotted a woman's body lying in a pool of blood and informed the police control room. Cops and officials of the Infrastructures Developers Limited immediately rushed to the spot and started investigating the matter.
Case registered A case of accidental death has been registered with the Khalapur police station. However, police believe that it might be a case of murder. According to the cops, the body was found near Temburni village. Khalapur sub-inspector Ambika Audrey is investigating the case, along with senior police inspector JA Shaikh. An official from the expressway control room said, "Around 10.30 pm, the body was found on the second lane of the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. We immediately alerted the police and rushed the woman to the nearest hospital. But she was declared brought dead."

Even though no bag or identity card has been recovered from the spot, it seems that she was from Mumbai. She sustained head injuries and had bruises on her back."
"Initially, it appeared to be an accident, but the post-mortem report suggests that she was hit with a sharp-edged weapon. We are probing the case from all possible angles," said the officer.
