Gurugram (PTI): The woman whose naked body was found in an abandoned suitcase here was strangulated to death, police said on Tuesday.

However, a doctor of the medical board which conducted her post-mortem said a possibility of rape cannot be ruled out.

"The postmortem revealed that the deceased was strangulated to death and then put inside the suitcase. Our teams are on the job and the probe is on. The body of the woman has not been identified yet but we will soon get a clear picture," said DCP, West Deepak Saharan.

A member of the medical board member said the possibility of rape cannot be ruled out.

"Some marks have been found on the hips of the deceased which seem to be burn marks. There are also injury marks on the genitals," the member said.

The police have also started analysing footage from CCTV cameras to ascertain the sequence of events, officials said.

The naked body of the woman was found near the IFFCO chowk here. An autorickshaw driver informed police around 4 pm that a suspicious suitcase was spotted in the bushes on a roadside near the IFFCO chowk.

New Delhi/Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala, a CM hopeful, on Wednesday said that social media campaigns and putting up of flexboards wiill not be the deciding factors for selecting the chief minister of Kerala.

Chennithala made the remark in response to reporters queries in Delhi on the intense social media campaign in favour of V D Satheesan as CM on the ground that he led the UDF poll campaign from the front.

"Who should be CM is not decided based on social media campaigns or the flexboards put up by the supporters. It is decided by the high command in accordance with the procedure already in place.

"As part of that two party observers will reach Kerala by evening and they will speak to all the MLAs. After that, the party high command will take a decision," the senior Congress leader said.

He said that the high command will take the decision based on party interests and everyone will accept it.

Chennithala also rejected queries about whether the alleged contest within the party for the CM post will create any displeasure among the voters.

"There will be no displeasure among voters as there is no contest," he contended.

On whether there was a delay in announcing the CM for Kerala, Chennithala said that the chief minister has not been selected in the other state where polls were held.

"So, can it be said that there is a delay in the case of Kerala?" he asked.

He said that he was in Delhi for a meeting with Rahul Gandhi regarding finalisation of the DCC presidents in Maharashtra.
