Ghaziabad, Jan 16 (IANS): The dismembered body parts of a person have been found after he was apparently hit by an unidentified vehicle on NH-9 in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, the police said.

The police received information about the death of the person only after the fog subsided on Tuesday morning. His dismembered body parts were found scattered after being constantly hit by other vehicles on the highway.

This accident occurred near the Sadbhavna intersection in the Wave City police station area on the Ghaziabad-Hapur highway.

The police gathered the body parts from the road and said that some hair from the scalp, a damaged finger and a piece of an ear were found from the spot.
