Indore Jane Doe was a young woman whose badly decomposed body was found on a jungle hillside near the Janapav mountain in Indore, India. Her death was originally considered a suspected suicide, though her case has recently been categorized as a homicide instead.
Case[]
On 22 February 2020, authorities were notified of the discovery of a woman's body on the eastern hillside of an area near the Janapav mountain. The investigation was briefly delayed due to local police attempting to determine whose jurisdiction the woman's body was found in. However, detectives were able to discover her body had been in the area for five days but was so badly decomposed that it was difficult to determine if she had sustained any wounds. According to the Indian press, the authorities did not pursue her case for long and shelved it due to a lack of leads.
On 29 November 2021, the charred body of a girl was found in the Khajrana area under similar circumstances to the decedent. Authorities are considering the two cases possibly being linked, and shortly afterwards, the woman near Janapav's case was reopened. Both women were found to have been strangled, and it was determined the woman in Indore had possibly been married. It is currently suspected that the decedent was from a different state or district in India, as well as whoever may have killed her.
