Police are waiting for the autopsy report to ascertain if the 27-year-old woman whose body was recovered from a field was raped.
Reports said the body of the deceased, Saraswati Neti of nearby Manoharpur village, was found lying in a field alongside the Sahajbhal road under Bargaon police limits in Sundargarh district, on Saturday under mysterious circumstances.
Preliminary investigation revealed that she was last seen on Friday around 8 pm alighting from a bus at Sahajbahal.
Rajgangpur SDPO PK Panigrahi on Sunday said prima facie there appears to be some foul play, adding that they are waiting for the autopsy report to know the cause of death and whether she was raped.
A suspect was questioned by the police but no breakthrough could be achieved.
