On reaching the spot, the body of the woman in a pink saree with her leg and hands tied with a rope was found in the gunny bag, police said.
"The injury marks on the body suggest that the woman was smothered. However, the exact cause of her death will be ascertained after post mortem," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Rohini) S D Mishra said.
