Kolkata: A severed human head, suspected to be of a woman, was recovered from a garbage dump in Kolkata’s Golf Green area on Friday morning, police said.
“The severed head was inside a plastic bag. It was spotted by some locals in the vat on Graham Road in Golf Green. We have started an investigation,” said a senior police officer. He added that the police are to identity the victim or locate the torso.
Locals of Golf Green, a residential area in south Kolkata, said that the spot where the garbage dump is located becomes desolate after dark.

The Kolkata Police’s detective department went to the spot along with sniffer dogs.
