The caller, identified as Shankar, a security guard at the factory, noticed the bag early in the morning when he returned to duty around 7:30 am.
Police said the guard had not been present at the site overnight, as he had gone elsewhere to sleep due to a severe mosquito problem. When he returned in the morning, he spotted the bag lying near the gate and promptly informed the authorities.
Officials suspect that the body may have been dumped at the location during the night hours, although the exact timeline remains unclear.
A crime team reached the spot and opened the bag, discovering a decomposed male body inside. The deceased is believed to be around 40 years old.
He was found wearing blue jeans and a peach-coloured full-sleeved shirt, with a light beard. During the preliminary examination, no visible external injury marks were observed on the body.
