GHAZIABAD: Carrying a large suitcase, a 32-year-old woman began walking toward the station on Monday night.

She tried her best to resist the polite policeman but floundered with her answer. There’s a body in her bag and she wants to throw it on a train. But the police, increasingly suspicious by the minute, figured it out.
