"There were also multiple lacerations on the body. There were abrasions and bruises on the forehead, which could indicate a struggle by the victim," the report added.
The semi-decomposed body of Panna was found inside a betel-nut plantation in East Jaintia Hills' Dona Bhoi village on August 26. The area is 1.5 km from the India- Bangladesh border.
