A 25-year-old butcher was arrested in Jharkhand’s Khunti district for killing his live-in partner and chopping her body into 50 pieces after a fight over his marriage with another woman. The incident, which occurred about two weeks ago, came to light on November 24 after a stray dog was seen with human remains in a forested area.
The accused has been identified as Naresh Bhengra and the victim was named as Gangi Kumari, 24. They were residents of Jordag village but lived and worked in Tamil Nadu.
According to the police, the two had been in a live-in relationship for the past few years, but Naresh got married to a woman in Khunti without the knowledge of the victim. He even returned to Tamil Nadu and continued living with Gangi.
