Scarlett-like case in Goa

In a repeat of the Scarlett Keeling murder case, the body of a 28-year-old woman has been found at one of Goa’s most prominent beaches.
According to an NDTV report, the parents of the deceased say their daughter may have been murdered. The police have made no arrests so far.
Until now, the doctor couple’s daughter Meghna was one of India’s many missing people. But their worst fears were confirmed on Thursday when Dr Mohan Subedar identified the body of his 28-year-old daughter. It was found naked and in a decomposed state at Goa’s Candolim beach on June 25.
‘’It is very difficult to identify as it is badly decomposed. But we are sure it is her,’’ said Anjali Subedar, Meghna’s mother.
Meghna worked as a software engineer with a reputed company in Bangalore.
A divorcee, she was going home to Korba in Chhattisgarh to see her parents. She called them up on April 10 before boarding her train following which she went missing.
Her father came to Mumbai and filed a missing persons complaint with the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway police station.
‘’After the complaint was filed, we looked at her ICICI bank account. She was withdrawing money from Goa. We sent an officer there to investigate,’’ said Shashank Shinde, police inspector, CST police station.
Records show that Meghna withdrew Rs 34,000 in a just four days, from April 11 to 15, a move that has susprised her parents.
However, after the infamous Scarlett Keeling case, Meghna’s father isn’t ruling out the involvement of Goa’s drug mafia. ‘’The drug mafia is there in Goa. It is a possibility,’’ said Dr Mohan Subedar.
The postmortem has been inconclusive as the body was badly decomposed.
