The victim was bludgeoned to death while she had been in the forest stretch responding to nature’s call early in the morning.

“The victim’s apparel, including the undergarments, was intact. No sign of rape as such was found in the preliminary enquiry. We have sent the body to Seraikela Sadar Hospital for postmortem,” said Murmu while talking to The Jharkhand Story.
