A burnt body of a young man was found inside a charred car, tied up in a sack in Maharashtra's Latur district on Sunday, with cops probing it as a case of murder.

Ganesh Chavan, a resident of Ausa Tanda, was allegedly stuffed inside the sack, made to sit in his car and the vehicle was set on fire by unknown assailants.

Chavan worked as a recovery agent at ICICI Bank.

The police have conducted a preliminary investigation at the crime scene and handed over the body to the family.
