A headless body of an unidentified male was found outside Gate No. 1 of the high-security Tihar Central Jail here on Friday. It is the third such body to be recovered from outside the jail premises since last October, with the murderer challenging the police to catch him.
The Police Control Room received an anonymous phone call around 6-30 in the morning saying a body had been disposed of outside Gate No.1 of Tihar. The local police were alerted at once; they recovered the headless body, which had been cut into several pieces stuffed inside paper bags. According to the police, the body appeared to belong to a vagabond. Investigations have revealed that the call was made from a telephone booth at Nangal Raya in South-West Delhi.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (West Delhi) Robin Hibu said the police have definite clues about the killer and the case would be cracked soon.
What is most intriguing is that the killer has successfully disposed of four bodies in the same manner outside the Tihar premises since November 2003. And on each occasion he called up the police and abused them.
Last month the police recovered another headless body stuffed inside a sack near Gate No. 3. Then, too, the killer had called up informing them that he had dumped a body outside the jail. The call was traced to a Tilak Nagar phone booth.
The first body was recovered in November 2003, and the second last October. The killer had left a note with the second body addressing himself as “brother-in-law” of the police and challenging them to catch him or else they would keep getting such body bags regularly. Though the police are yet to unravel the serial murder mystery, investigations so far indicate that the killer could be a psychopath who picks up vagabonds and kills them after drugging.
