According to a neighbour, Nankishor had not been seen for months.
“She doesn’t come out to go to the market or the shop, she was just in the house all the time so when the relative called I decided to go over to get the Police from the Number 62 Outpost and we break the house and go in and we see her lying on the bed with her feet crossed and her hands on her stomach. You could see that she was dead long because the body dried up; like it baked,” the neighbour told this publication.
A post-mortem is expected to be performed on the body.
