'He killed her, burnt her body': Man chops wife's body into pieces, throws parts across Uttar Pradesh's Shravasti
In a shocking incident, a 31-year-old man from Uttar Pradesh allegedly killed his wife and attempted to cover up the crime by chopping her body into pieces and throwing them across Shravasti, NDTV quoted officials as saying on Friday.
According to the report, citing the police, the accused, Saifuddin and his wife, Sabina, were on their way to Lucknow earlier this week when he committed the crime.
The police added that Saifuddin then chopped up the body of his wife into pieces and threw some parts of it into a canal. Later, he scattered the pieces across 10 kilometres in the Shravasti area, and added the police.
On 14 May, the incident came to light when the victim's brother, Salahuddin, called her, but her phone was switched off. He discovered the couple had left for Lucknow when he went to her home. But, he found Saifuddin strolling in the evening, with no signs of his sister.
Salahuddin filed a missing persons complaint at a nearby police station, and the police took Saifuddin into custody for questioning. However, the accused kept misleading them.
After two days of continuous questioning, the accused confessed to the crime. He revealed that he had burnt his wife's hand and hid it in a nearby garden.
On probing further, the police recovered the burnt hand and sent the accused to jail, the police said.
The victim's family claimed that her husband and in-laws were harassing her over dowry.
"They were demanding a dowry. He killed her because of this...he burnt her body. We found her hand in the garden. I had filed a complaint on 14 May night," NDTV quoted Salahuddin as saying.
The police had arrested a 44-year-old woman, Maya Devi, for allegedly getting her lover and his associates to kill her ex-Army soldier husband and chop him into six pieces in a village in Ballia of Uttar Pradesh. The accused then threw his body parts at six different locations to conceal his identity.
On Saturday, the incident only came to light when the police recovered severed hands, legs wrapped in a polythene near a field near Khareed village. He was identified as 62-year-old retired Army personnel Devendra Kumar.

Hardy's girlfriend told police she found suspicious texts from another woman on his phone and confronted him. That's when things allegedly turned physical.

He was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily injury to a family member, and is currently being held in the Richardson Jail. Greg Hardy's violent past keeps catching up with him again and again If you've followed Hardy's post-NFL career at all, this story sounds painfully familiar. In 2014, Hardy was arrested for assaulting his then-girlfriend, with graphic photos and disturbing allegations that included throwing her onto a couch covered in firearms. The case was dropped when she didn't show up to testify. In 2016, he was arrested for cocaine possession. After the NFL stopped calling, Hardy made a controversial jump to UFC and even there, his presence was heavily criticized. Fans and analysts have long questioned why he kept getting second chances, especially given the nature of his past. And now, those concerns are front and center once again. As the news broke, fan reaction was swift and brutal. Some were shocked by the disturbing allegations. Others weren't surprised at all: The general vibe?

"Saw People Dying, Crying For Water": Witness Recalls Bengaluru Horror
He was there at RCB's victory celebrations near the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday but narrowly escaped injuries after he realised that the crowd was swelling to an unmanageable size and decided to leave the area. Minutes later, his pulse quickened when he got a message from his family that his son, in his early twenties, was also in the same spot and could not be contacted. "I was very nervous. When I tried to contact him, I could not get any network, possibly because of the large crowd. Thankfully, I got a message from him saying he was at the front of the crowd and describing the atmosphere as beautiful," the witness to the stampede, in which 11 people - including a 14-year-old girl were killed - told NDTV. "I was already home by then. I did not know he was there. I scolded him over texts and asked him to get out immediately. About 20 minutes later, he managed to get out of the area and called his sister, who was also worried. She asked him to make a video call to prove he was okay, and only then did we breathe a sigh of relief," he recalled. Recounting the situation, the man, who requested not to be identified, said too many people were packed into a small area and there was no space to move. "I saw people were dying. There was no water, people were crying for were no arrangements for first aid or ambulances. When the Chief Minister knew so many people would turn up, why weren't there proper security arrangements? I don't blame the police, in fact, I salute them. They managed the situation well, otherwise the deaths could have crossed 100," he said. Another Bengaluru resident pointed out that similar celebrations had taken place in Mumbai last year after India won the T20 World Cup, but they were much better managed. "The magisterial inquiry is just an eyewash. Political parties know how to handle crowds, they organise big rallies. How could the arrangements have been so bad for this celebration? People were happy that RCB had won the IPL after 18 years, but the joy has now been turned to tears," he said. The police have arrested four people in connection with the stampede and five police officers, including the Bengaluru police commissioner, have been suspended. On Friday, the Karnataka government also sacked Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's Political Secretary K Govindaraj and the state intelligence department chief. While the Congress-led government has said it is doing everything possible to help the families of the victims and fix accountability, the opposition BJP and Janata Dal (Secular) have accused it of scapegoating the police officials.
