Chamoli, Uttarakhand – A shocking discovery early Sunday morning has left residents of Chamoli district in deep concern.
A burnt car was found on the Jyotirmath-Subhai motor road, and inside it was a completely charred human body.
Locals spotted the burnt vehicle around dawn, abandoned by the side of the road. At first, many assumed it might be a case of an accidental fire. However, the situation quickly turned serious when they realized there was a body inside. Authorities were immediately alerted, and police along with local officials rushed to the scene.
When the police arrived, they found the remains of a person completely burned inside the car. A mangalsutra and some pieces of women’s jewelry were found near the body, suggesting that the deceased might be a woman. The body was burnt so badly that identification is not yet possible.
So far, there are no witnesses who saw the car catch fire, and no one has come forward with information about who the car belonged to. The lack of any clear explanation has led the police to open multiple lines of investigation. One possibility being considered is that the car accidentally caught fire during the night. However, officers are also looking into the chance that this may have been a planned act—possibly a murder, followed by an attempt to destroy evidence.
“The cause of the fire is not known yet, and we are waiting for the forensic report,” a police official said. “We are treating this as a suspicious death until we have more clarity.”
The vehicle has been sent for forensic testing, and the body has been sent for post-mortem to help confirm the identity and cause of death. Police are also checking missing persons reports from nearby areas of Chamoli to find any potential matches.
Locals in the area remain uneasy, as such incidents are rare in this quiet part of Chamoli (Uttarakhand). The mystery surrounding the burnt vehicle and the body inside has raised many questions, and the community is anxiously waiting for answers.
The investigation is ongoing.
