Discovery of the Body Spreads Panic in the Region
A wave of fear and panic has gripped the local area of Chamba after the decomposed body of an unidentified individual was discovered hanging from a tree. The grim finding occurred near the Forest Department check post on the Chamba-Langera road within the Salooni subdivision. According to local reports, a woman grazing livestock in the vicinity spotted the hanging body and immediately raised an alarm, notifying local residents and authorities about the shocking discovery.
Police Action and Forensic Investigation Underway
Promptly acting on the information, a police team led by Salooni police post in-charge Yashpal Singh rushed to the scene and took custody of the remains. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, the identity of the deceased could not be established immediately. To ensure a thorough technical analysis, police have summoned a specialized forensic expert team from Nurpur to inspect the scene, collect critical physical evidence, and help ascertain the sequence of events leading up to the tragic incident.
