The owner of the water tanker, Purushottam Narendra Sasane, also from Dagadi Chawl, runs a water delivery business in the city. After completing his deliveries on Wednesday, Sasane parked his tanker near his residence.
As usual on Thursday morning, he filled the tanker at Ramtekdi and proceeded to deliver water to a residence near the Phursungi power house. While releasing the water, Sasane noticed that nothing was flowing out and found a saree stuck. Upon opening the tanker cap, he discovered a woman's body inside.
Sasane promptly informed the police about the situation. The Hadapsar police visited the spot and sent the deceased to Sassoon Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Police are investigating whether the incident is a case of murder or suicide.
