A barbarous murder in Bihar’s Bhagalpur has authorities baffled: an unknown youth’s corpse was sliced into five chunks and dumped around Amapur Diyara’s farmlands and pond, with the head conspicuously absent – possibly carried off by the fleeing assassin.
Saturday’s grim revelation came via horrified villagers amid their cornfields, spotting body fragments in thickets and one adrift in water 50 meters off. Gogha station head Ajit Kumar led the recovery, assembling the parts sans the crucial head, likely severed to obscure who the 20-ish victim was.
Hope hinges on a recovered wristwatch and garments. Forensic analysis and dog squads confirm a sharp-weapon kill about 72 hours back, mutilation aimed at evidence obliteration.
‘Premeditated and ruthless,’ affirmed SHO Kumar. Police delve into missing reports, dispatch remains for examination, and fan out in searches. The Diyara zone reels in horror, prompting security overhauls.
This atrocity not only petrifies locals but challenges law enforcement’s reach in remote areas, as the quest for the head – and the killer – presses on urgently.
