Patna: Police recovered the body of a woman with her head severed from an open field with long grass at Machla Badhaar in Kalpa police outpost under Town police station area in Jehanabad on Wednesday. The body could not be identified. Police reached the secluded spot around 6.30am but kept waiting there till 4pm for the arrival of forensic experts’ team from Patna.
Kalpa police outpost incharge Rajesh Kumar Singh said a female purse and a PAN card were lying beside the body. “The PAN card belongs to one Anita born on January 1, 1987. Her father’s name is mentioned as Vidya Singh,” he said.
Singh said the body was presumed to be of someone from Jehanabad or surrounding areas. “However, when further information about the PAN card was gathered by the SP, it turned out to be that of one Anita from Delhi,” Singh said.
He said police were trying to gather details of Anita and her family members. “It’s is yet not clear if the body is of Anita or someone else. It may be possible that the PAN card has been dropped with a motive to misguide the police,” he said.
Singh said the body seems to be of a woman aged between 25 and 30 years and from a well-to-do family. He further said the body had a sari and blouse with bangles on the wrists and finger rings on her feet, indicating that the woman was married.
“The head seems to have been severed by a very sharp weapon. She was murdered somewhere else. Her head was severed at the place where she had been killed as there is very little blood on the spot,” he said.
The incharge said there were injury marks caused by sharp weapons on all five fingers of her left palm. “Her right palm was cut after killing her as there is no bleeding from it,” he said.
Singh said there are two link roads, one 500 metres away and another 1km from the spot
“One leads to Jehanabad town while the other goes to Sigori in Patna. Police have not been able to find any tyre or foot marks on the spot. Sniffer dogs were roped in too but they lost track after moving some distance,” he added.
