Kolkata, Jun 1 (IBNS): Police on Thursday recovered the body of a 25-year-old female sex worker from Kolkata's largest red light district Sonagachhi, reports said.

According to reports, locals found the woman's body inside her room at Durga Charan Mitra Lane area under Burtolla Police Station in north part of the city in the morning and called in the police.

"The female sex worker from Bangladesh, who was known as Seema, was staying here for the past 5-6 months," a local man told IBNS. "Her body was found lying on the floor inside her room this morning."

Local police and city police's homicide department's officials visited the scene and suspected that the woman may have been killed.

"As we spotted a wound or injury mark on her neck, we are suspecting that she was murdered," a senior official of Kolkata Police told IBNS.

However, the woman's body has been sent for post-mortem and police have started investigation into the matter.
