A decomposed body was recovered from the Bangeshwar river in the Pratapgarh area of Agartala city on Tuesday morning, triggering shock and panic among local residents.

According to police, the mutilated and unidentified body was discovered near the Ghoshpara stretch of the river after residents noticed a foul smell spreading across the area.

Following the stench, they searched along the riverbank and were horrified to find a heavily decomposed corpse lying beside the water.
