An unidentified body was found under suspicious circumstances near Railway track at Pul Patra under Aishbagh police station area on Saturday morning in the state capital.
The forensic experts told police that the victim died around 24 hours ago. "It is hard to provide any detail regarding the death from the circumstantial evidences and more information could be revealed after receiving the postmortem report," told the police.
However, the police confirmed that a picture of Goddess Durga is tattooed on the left hand of the victim, Santosh Khateek. Injury marks were visible on the head and back, he also had a bandage on his head from the injuries sustained earlier.
It is yet to be revealed that it was a suicide or murder but the injuries on the body do not suggest that the victim fell or was knocked-off by a train but it is possible that he might have been poisoned and was later dumped near the Railway track.

The victim was between 30-35 years and the clothes on his body suggested that he apparently belonged to a lower middle class family. The police have registered a case under section 174 of the IPC and have sent the body for the post mortem.
