Man killed, body stored in ice-cream freezer in 'love triangle murder' in Tripura
Agartala, A 26-year-old man was allegedly murdered and his body stored in an ice-cream freezer in Tripura in a love triangle gone wrong, police said on Wednesday.
The victim was in a relationship with a 20-year-old woman. On the other side, the woman's cousin wanted to be with her, West Tripura's SP Kiran Kumar said.
The couple was not talking to each other after a recent fight, and the cousin got an inkling, he said.
He plotted a well-designed plan to kill the boyfriend, and invited him to the house of a relative in South Indiranagar in West Tripura on June 8, police said.
The cousin, who is an MBBS graduate from Bangladesh, strangulated him to death with the help of three other persons present there, they said.
Then they stuffed the body in a trolley bag. The next day, the cousin called his parents, who live in Gandacherra, to come to Agartala and take the trolley bag with them, police said.
"Accordingly, his parents came to Agartala with a car and took the trolley bag to Gandacherra. They concealed the body in an ice-cream freezer in their shop," the SP said.
The cousin wanted to physically exploit the woman, who recently lost her father. He knew that he couldn't do that till the boyfriend was in the scene, so he conspired to kill him, he said.
The accused was a frequent visitor to the woman's house in Bankumari in the East Agartala police station area, he added.
Police began an investigation after the victim's family lodged a missing person's complaint, and the cousin was the first person to be arrested, the officer said.
"Based on his confession, the body of the victim was retrieved from the freezer on Wednesday. After a post-mortem examination, the body was handed over to the victim's family," he said.
A total of six persons, including the cousin's parents, were arrested, Kumar said.

Six-month-old girl dies in Karnataka after quack administers injections
Bengaluru: A quack in his 50s has landed in police custody in Ramanagara, Bengaluru south district, on charges of causing death of a six-month-old girl by administering injections. The accused is identified as Mohammed Saifulla, who ran his Alkhair Foundation Clinic in Balageri. Based on a complaint filed by the child's father, Ramanagara Town police booked Saifulla under BNS Section 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder). Saifulla lived in Balagere with his wife, police said. District health officials raided his clinic and seized it. Health officer Dr Niranjan declared him a quack. "He has no licence, nor has he studied MBBS. He could be a pharmacist, which we have to verify. But whatever the case, he is not a doctor and cannot treat patients," he said. Saifulla has been handed over to judicial custody. "We will take him to police custody during investigation, which will begin soon," a senior cop said. Police suspect Saifulla has been running his illegal clinic for close to a year, and locals thought he was a general physician. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo The incident occurred when R Shivaraj, a driver, took his six-month-old daughter Sharanya to Saifulla on Tuesday night.

Man's Body Found In Ice-Cream Freezer: Timeline Of Tripura Murder Case
Agartala: Sariful Islam, 24, a resident of Agartala's Indranagar who works as an electrician in Tripura capital's Smart City project, was in a relationship with a 20-year-old college student from Chandrapur neighbourhood. But they were about to break up since both belonged to different faiths. Some seven months ago, the girl's cousin Dibakar Saha returned to Tripura from Bangladesh after completing an MBBS course and began studying for India's exam to get a medical practice licence. Dr Saha had been eyeing his cousin initially, and both started having intimate chats on the internet, which the police have seized as evidence. Sariful knew Dr Saha through his girlfriend. However, the doctor had plans to kill Sariful for a long time. A few months ago, he made the first murder attempt when he called Sariful to a place which they frequented. He mixed sleeping pills in fruit juice and gave it to Sariful, who reached home before the effects of the pills kicked in. Sariful then fell ill for many days, but did not doubt Dr Saha. Dr Saha also had another girlfriend, Nabanita Das, a postgraduate who was preparing for a teaching job. On June 8, Dr Saha invited Sariful to the house of Joydeep Das, a relative of the doctor, to accept a gift. Dr Saha also brought his girlfriend Nabanita Das and a common friend, Animesh Yadav, who is a BPharma student. After Sariful reached Joydeb Das' house in Indranagar, he and Dr Das had an altercation over the 20-year-old woman. After that, Dr Saha strangulated him. With the help of the others and using his medical knowledge, he put the body in plastic wrappers and tied the limbs with ropes. Two days earlier, he had bought a huge trolley bag. He put the body inside the bag and took it to the house of Mousumi, a friend of Nabanita Das. They told Mousumi that it contained Nabanita's personal items. The police are however looking at Mousumi's role too. The three then left Indranagar on an Uber Auto, whose driver the police have questioned. On June 9 morning, the police received a missing person complaint from Sariful's parents, after which a search and investigation began. The same morning, Dr Saha's parents came from their hometown Gandacherra in Tripura's Dhalia district, 120 km from Agartala. They took the trolley with them and dumped it under an ice cream freezer at their grocery shop in Gandacherra and locked the place. Dr Saha's father alone returned to Agartala the same evening. He began contacting right wing groups to turn the matter into a Hindu-Muslim couple love affairs case, police sources told NDTV. Led by West Tripura Superintendent of Police (SP) Kiran Kumar, the police launched a massive hunt for Sariful. From his phone records, the police found he made the last call to Dr Saha. When the police summoned him, Dr Saha behaved as if Sariful was his close friend and he was worried about the missing man. He told the police that he invited Sariful to give him a gift. The police then put him under surveillance. The first clue was the motorcycle of Sariful, which was found parked near Joydeep Das' house. When he was questioned, he too tried to mislead the cops. Sariful's family then told police about his relationship with a 20-year-old girl, who is a Hindu. When the police spoke to her, she said she had doubts about his cousin Dr Saha. Police took her phone and found chats that became the clinching evidence. Despite this, Dr Saha did not admit to the crime and tried to mislead the investigation again. The police then turned their attention to Nabanita Das, Dr Saha's girlfriend. When the police told her about Dr Saha's relationship with his 20-year-old cousin sister, Nabanita Das broke down and told the whole matter, following which the police detained her. On the night of June 9, the police detained Dr Saha, Animesh and Joydeep, and also Dr Saha's father. On June 10, the police took Dr Saha's father to Gandacherra and in the presence of a magistrate recovered the trolley from the ice cream freezer. They found the body inside. The police detained Dr Saha's mother too. When all the accused were cross questioned, Dr Saha admitted to the crime, the police said. The police on June 11 did a crime scene reconstruction and in the late evening announced the case to the media. The Tripura Police cracked the case within 24 hours of receiving a missing person complaint. They plan to take 10-day custody of the accused.

CSBC to conduct six-phase written examination for 19,838 constable posts in Bihar from July 16
Ahead of the Assembly election, the Central Selection Board of Constable (CSBC) is set to conduct a six-phase written examination for the recruitment of 19,838 constable posts in Bihar, commencing July 16. The examination will be conducted across 627 centres in all 38 districts of the State on six dates: July 16, 20, 23, 27, 30, and August 3. 'An advertisement to fill up the 19,838 posts of constables was issued on March 11, which was later extended up to April 25. The Board received a total of 17,06,628 online applications for registration. A total of 16,73,586 applications were found valid after scrutiny,' CSBC Chairman and Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Jitendra Kumar said at a press briefing in Patna. During scrutiny, 10,947 applications were found incomplete, 20,940 candidates withdrew their applications, and 1,155 were rejected due to various reasons. 'The final list, after scrutiny, was uploaded to the Board's website on June 6,' Mr. Kumar added. When asked about the number of female applicants, Mr. Kumar stated, 'Right now, I do not have numbers with me but there is a 35% quota for women and hence the number may not be less than five to six lakh.' Reiterating the Board's commitment to conduct a fair and transparent examination, Mr. Kumar said, 'Elaborate arrangements are being made by the Board, police headquarters, and the State government. District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police will be given proper guidelines from the top level to ensure fair examination.' District Magistrates and Superintendents of Police have been appointed as Exam Coordinator and Exam Co-Coordinator, respectively. Outlining the security protocols, the Chairman said local police are maintaining strict vigilance and collecting intelligence from hostels, lodges, coaching centres, and other potential gathering spots for candidates. 'Exam centres and halls will be monitored through CCTV cameras, and the live feed will be available at the control room of the Board's headquarters. Jammers capable of blocking 5G and Wi-Fi signals will be installed at all centres. Centre Superintendents will be connected via a hotline to ensure smooth conduct,' Mr. Kumar said. To prevent any undue advantage, candidates will not be allotted centres in their home districts. The Board will announce examination dates and centre details on its official website after June 20, 2025. Allotments will be done through randomisation. The two-hour examination will begin at 12 noon. Candidates will be allowed entry between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. They are required to bring their e-admit card along with a valid photo identification document such as Aadhaar, passport, PAN card, or EPIC. Candidates are not required to bring any writing materials, as the Board will provide pens and question booklets at the examination centres.
