Northeast Delhi violence: Another body recovered from drain in Gokulpuri
The second body on the same day has been recovered from a drain in Delhi's Gokalpuri area from where a body was found earlier in the day. So far a total of 5 bodies have been found from the same drain from where the body of Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer Ankit Sharma was also recovered.
Ankit Sharma's body was also found from a drain in Chandbagh after he was brutally stabbed multiple times during riots. A day after that, two more bodies were recovered by the investigation team from that drain.
The death toll in the Delhi violence has surged to 42.
However, the identity of the deceased is still unknown and it is yet to be confirmed whether the deceased whose body has been recovered from the Gokulpuri drain died during violence in the northeast as an investigation is underway.
Meanwhile, heavy security has been deployed in the riot-hit areas as forensic teams are collecting evidence.
