A case similar to the Shraddha Walker murder case of Delhi has come to light in Jharkhand. Here a young man first strangled his live-in girlfriend to death and then cut the body into 40-50 pieces and threw them in the forest for animals to eat. The accused boyfriend Naresh Bhengra has been arrested.
This case came to light on November 24, about 15 days after the murder, when a stray dog was seen with some cut parts of the body near Jordag village of Jariagarh police station. After that the police investigated the matter and caught the accused boyfriend. He told the police during interrogation why he killed his partner.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with a 24-year-old girl from Khunti district in Tamil Nadu for the last few years. Some time ago the accused returned to Jharkhand and married another woman without telling anything to his partner. He then left his wife in Jharkhand and returned to Tamil Nadu to live with his girlfriend.
"The brutal incident took place on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused did not want to take his girlfriend home as he had remarried. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house in Joradag village under Jariagarh police station area and strangulated her to death. He then chopped the body into pieces. The accused has been arrested," said Khunti SP Aman Kumar.
Inspector Ashok Singh, who is investigating the case, said the man worked at a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was an expert in cutting chicken. "He admitted that he chopped the woman's body parts into 40 to 50 pieces and then left them in the forest for wild animals to eat. Police recovered several body parts after a dog was spotted with the hand in the area on November 24," the inspector said.
