SMVT Railway Station is fully air-conditioned India's first railway station reopened last year.
The crime came to light after the personnel of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) experienced foul smell on Monday morning. In the evening, the officers found an unattended drum.
After finding out that it was the source of the smell, they sealed the drum and called upon Baiyappanahalli railway police.
The senior police officials reached the spot and examined the drum. When they later cut open the drum, the officials found a decomposed body, said a report on Deccan Herald.
This is the third time the officials have recovered a decomposed body from a railway station. Earlier, two bodies were found at Yeshwantpur railway station on January 4 and Baiyappanahalli railway station on December 6, 2022.
Dr Soumyalatha S K, Superintendent of Police (Railways), Bengaluru told Deccan Herald that they will investigate the similarities between the murders.
There are also speculations that there could be a serial killer involved in the murders, however, police did not react to the claim.
