Hindustan Times said the body of the 28-year-old woman was found with severe head injuries caused by a boulder near Kalkere Lake in Ramamurthy, a suburb in Karnataka’s capital Bengaluru on Friday.
“Her body was discovered in a deserted area on Friday morning by locals, who immediately alerted the police,” the newspaper said, citing law enforcers.
Police said the initial investigations suggested that she was raped and then murdered.
The woman, who worked as a housemaid in an apartment, was reportedly on her way home on Thursday when the incident occurred, the law enforcers said.
